It looks like a variant of this worm:

The blaster worm has also been going around:

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.html

And this is a new worm that apparently attempts to 'fix' machines infected
by blaster:

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.html

Best bet is to update your anti-virus (or get one if you don't have one) 
and
scan your system.  There's also specific utilities designed to detect and
clean the above infections; these tools (if there are any) should be
available from the above pages.

Good luck,

Mike
