i have the virus, i went to cmd and found it, but when i
try and delete it using microsoft help page, i get access
denied, is there another way to get rid of it?

oh and thanks andy allred, for helping me find the virus
 
Reboot the machine and try again.

If that doesn't help, try booting into Safe Mode first, then delete the
file. To enter Safe Mode, press F8 when Windows starts but before you see
the splash screen.

To stop the rebooting/shutdowns, right click on the task bar, choose task
manager, processes tab, look for msblast.exe. Highlight it and click end
process. Then turn on the xp firewall.

To turn on the firewall: control panel, network and internet connections,
network connections, right click your connection, properties, advanced tab,
check the protect my computer box. Do this as quickly as you can once the
desktop comes up. Then visit the sites below for the removal and patch info.
