Info often posted here that points to many help sites for eradication of
this worm...

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.

You have one of the recent worms--Blaster, Sasser, etc. To find
out which one and get specific help for fixing it, post the full
