Have w32.blaster worm or one of its variants. Check with
your antivirus provider for fixes and also download
latest security patches from microsoft which would of
prevented this.

Sounds like you may have been bitten by the MSBlaster worm or the Welchia
worm.

Have a look here for information about the Blaster worm and its variants:

And here is information about the Welchia worm:

You need to d/load and install Security patch KB824146, available here:
