How to install security patches? And site speed?

I am trying to upgrade from vbulletin 4.1.11 to 4.2.2 (I have never upgraded any of the previous security patches), but the instructions are quite confusing.

Please keep in mind I am a complete novice.

I downloaded the patch from the website, and then, in the set of instructions, it says I should change the name of the "upload" folder to match whatever name I gave to the directory containing my vBulletin files on my web server.

Is this my "admincp" folder? Should I name the "upload" folder "admincp"?

Would this destroy everything that is currently within my "admincp" folder in my FTP client?

The LAST thing I want to do is destroy everything I spent over a year working on.

My website is www.socialhulk.com. I'll actually have more questions later about how I can significantly increase the speed it takes to load my site. I went to one of those sites that measures load time and it was astronomical. I couldn't understand any of the suggestions the site made to speed it up.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
