The above URL is good to check out before you do anything about a virus or 
worm. Also get good virus scan software. Run it and update it frequently. 
Remember to scan your email attachments before you open them.
Or start using linux instead of windows. It's free and it's security is far 
better than windows ever thought of doing.

"We are the origins of war, not history's forces nor the times nor justice 
nor the lack of it nor causes nor religions nor ideas nor kinds of 
government nor any other thing. We are the killers we breed war... For the 
love of God, can't we love another just a little. That's how peace begins. 
We have so much to love each other for. We have such possibilities my 
children. We could change the world." Eleanor of Aquataine in the "Lion in
