Hello agarg_1

You got hit by another virus so fast because you probably
were not protected by a firewall. Since you're on w2k,
and don't have the icf, you can download a software
firewall:

http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp

And since it takes seconds for a worm to install itself
on an unprotected machine, you will be infected with
something else before the download is done.

Go to a computer store and buy zonealarm :)

Or any one of the other firewall products.
