Unfortunatley, I did a destructive restore before I was
able to solve this problem. Do not do it! Fix your
network connection first! I wish I had.


The computer is trying to protect itself from hacking. Go
to CONTROL PANEL. Go to NETWORK CONNECTIONS. Click on the
one you use, go to left panel(Network Tasks) and select
CHANGE SETTINGS OF THIS CONNECTION. Click on the ADVANCED
tab, and put a check in the box : "PROTECT MY COMPUTER
AND NETWORK BY LIMITING OR PREVENTING ACCESS TO THIS
COMPUTER FROM THE INTERNET"

Your instructions are important, but they do not remove the worm. See
http://www.bigblackglasses.com/Article.aspx?Article=342 and
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html
for removal instructions for this worm.

Do not reconnect to the Internet until the worm is verifiably gone. Your
system is at great risk if you are infected AND connected to the
Internet.
