Johannes;
It could be any of several with the most likely Sasser or Blaster.
Without more specifics it is impossible to say more.
If Sasser or Blaster has infected that computer, that indicates the
owner has failed to do at least two important things:
1. No firewall or improperly configured firewall
2. Not installing the Critical Updates from Microsoft.
Either of these would have stopped Sasser or Blaster, both and more
are necessary for adequate layered protection.
