Sounds like Blaster worm to me. Got an Anti Virus that you keep up to date?

If you don't consider two free ones.
AVG
Avast

Yep blaster or a relative..microsoft has a hotfix for it as long as you can stay connected long enough to download it.

This will help you out a lot

go to start, run, type shutdown -i

Go to "Display warning for -------- Seconds"

Set it to 999999

Go to "Option"
Scroll down to "Operating System: Reconfiguration [Planned]

Add the computer and click ok.

Now you will have 999999 seconds until it will reboot which will give you enough time to do what you need to do

All of the users gave a nice reply but you can Reformat the drive where you have installed WINDOWS XP and before creating a connection......please note that you have installed Norton Antivirus 2005 or any other firewall installed.

True it is always best to install with no internet connection.
