Hi gibbsy,

Sounds like you've been bitten by the MSBlaster worm or the Welchia worm.

Have a look here for information about the Blaster worm and its variants:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp

And here is information about the Welchia worm:

You need to d/load and install Security patch KB824146, available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824146#WinXP

Also, d/load and run the Blaster and Welchia worm removal tool:
