The problem arose because you are not using a firewall and a current up
to date anti-virus program. You are infected with the sasser worm.
Others have given you info on removing this particular worm. You should
check your system for other parasites too.

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.

Make sure you have a firewall active at all times. If nothing else use
the one built into XP, but there are a variety of free third party ones
that do a better job from Sygate, Zone Alarm or Kerio.
