Your computer is infected with the Blaster.Worm.
What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp
First thing to do is to enable the Internet Connection Firewall.
Go to the Network Connections folder;
Right-click your Internet connection | Properties | Advanced tab;
Enable the option "Protect my computer and network..."
Second, we need to install the critical updates which you are missing.
Attempt to go to the windows update site and choose all of the Critical
Updates which are offered.
If the machine begins a shutdown whilst you are trying to do this,
go to a command prompt, and issue this command to cancel the pending
shutdown:
shutdown -a
Let all the critical updates install.
Thirdly, you must remove the infection:
A tool is available to remove Blaster worm and Nachi worm infections from
computers
that are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP

Fourth, you should follow all the steps listed here to prevent future
problems like this:

1) Always run a firewall, as we set up earlier.
2) Set up your machine for Automatic Updates.
3) Get an AV program installed, and keep it updated.
