That's the MS Blaster worm in action It used the useless open service RPC to install itself and do its dirty deeds You will have to take several steps to fix it.

1 Go to Symantec and download-and-run the latest version of FixBlast, a free stand-alone tool to remove this worm.

2.Go to the Gibson Research website Download-and-run the program Shoot the Messenger There are other tools there, also.

Note: both these tools will fit on one floppy, so you can download them at a friend's house or computer store.

3 Make sure that all your patches are up-to-date.

4 Come back here and do a search on "Blaster" for more details.

5 You will likely also have to delete your System Restore files, as those have probably also been infected
