Hi Mat - If you're showing clean for MSBlaster, and you're still getting
tftp popups, then I would begin to suspect that you just may be one of the
first to have caught a new one that's just shown up which uses some of the
same techniques as the MSBlaster worm. I can't be sure, but see here:

I can't as yet give you any advice on fixing this one beyond what's at the
links I've given you.
