You have a worm (Sobig/Blaster)

run your virus checker after updating it.

or get a free scan from Symantec/NAV

Sounds like you need the blaster patch, you have the

lovesan virus. Then do a scan and delete the virus after
installing the patch. Hope it helps.

Hi,

It's a virus called blaster or lovesan. Information:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html

You need the patch described here to protect against it:

MS03-039: A Buffer Overrun in RPCSS Could Allow an Attacker to Run Malicious
Programs

Problem is, you needed to install the patch BEFORE you got infected to avoid
it.
