Go and get the patch from here, choose the right version for your system. If
you don't know whether your system is "32 bit" or "64 bit" then its 32 bit.

Next check your system for unusual processes that may be running. In
particular watch out for:
(NOTE, THIS LIST IS NOT EXCLUSIVE, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ANY UNUSUAL ACTIVITY)
MSBlast.exe
rpc.exe
rpctest.exe
dcomx.exe
lolx.exe
worm.exe
Scan with an up-to-date virus scanner to help with removal of nasties that
might be left on your system.
Next, visit
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and grab hold of *all*
critical updates. Yes, all of them. Try to make a habit of doing this on a
regular basis.
This is not a comprehensive guide, just a quick and dirty fix to stop the
worst of your immediate problems.
