>Windows XP has a built in firewall, but this is disabled
by default. You have probably been infected by the
blaster worm before you got the critical updates, that's
what happened to me. Follow the advice of Carey Frisch,
and you will be sorted. Alternativly, start computer,
with firewall up, get to Windows critical updates, very
quickly, start the download, if windows reeboots, keep
going to critical updates, eventually you will get them
all, it may take frequent attempts, and be frustrating,
but keep doing it. Don't use a system restore point from
before you get rid of the worm, or you will get it back.
