I am sorry to tell you that you have the MS Blaster Worm. You first need to
install the update from microsoft. Here is the link to it.
http://microsoft.com/downloads/detai...C5B6-44AC-9532
-3DE40F69C074&displaylang=en
Hit the Download link on the right of the screen.
Then you need to remove the virus. Here is the removal program's link.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...r/FixBlast.exe
Since you are already infected, you might have problems during the download,
so do this to try to stop the virus:
Righ click on the tast bar ( to the left of the clock) and select task
manager. This will bring up a window with the application that are running
at the time in the computer. Try to find someting that says: 'msblast.exe"
select it and click on end. After this the virus will be stopped. You then
need to download the patch and the removal tool I told you about. Although
the virus migh stop running, It will activate itself when you reboot the
system.
Good luck
