Sounds like a variant of the Blaster Worm. Try the link above for
information. Basically, you need to get to Ctr-Alt-Del to bring up running
processes. Find an entry for Blaster, or any variant of it, and End
Process.

Good luck. Also try this old trick: Start>Run then type "shutdown a"
without the quotes. Update your machine and run a firewall, anti-virus
program and other security applications.
