Would applying the MS08-067 patch prevent Kido from working?
It will protect your PC against Kido infecting your PC by exploiting the vulnerability. An antivirus solution with up-to-date signature databases and a properly configured firewall is a better solution as these cover other infection vectors which Kido may use to spread.

MS08-067 is available as definition content within Security and Patch Manager in the “Windows Vulnerabilities” section.
