Hi tpaciaffi,

Sorry you are having so many problems. It would be helpful to have more
information about your system, such as what worm was detected and what
antivirus program detected it.

What you have sounds like a major case of spyware infection. I would
recommend Spybot Search and Destroy for this. You can download the program
here:

Please note that this is a third-party program and Microsoft does not
provide any warranty whatsoever for it.

It is difficult to help you with the worm infection without knowing what
worm it is that you are infected with. By "wormblasted," do you mean the
W32/Blaster worm? In that case, I would highly recommend you run Windows
Update to get the latest patches immediately. Good luck and I hope this
helps!

Sincerely,
