Re: worm
Scott;DISCONNECT the subject computer from any network IMMEDIATELY.
VERY IMPORTANT to repair, closing ports is NOT enough.
Download the patch from the Windows Catalog.

This is the IMPORTANT fix by Ron Martell:

After this is resolved prevent similar occurrances by installing ALL
Critical Updates from Windows Update.
Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly.
Instasll or enable a firewall.

antivirus program has detected this on your system, the best course of
action is to visit their online virus information area. Using the site's
search engine, look up the name that the program noted.
I tried a quick search on google for this and while I did get some hits,
they were in foreign languages (google will translate the pages for you).
The description was a little different at each site as expected.
