Have you patched your OS mate with this update?
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011

Update the OS with this patch as soon as possible.Cause this worm hits out only against Unpatched systems which are vulnerable to LSASS exploit.
Depending upon the OS,download the appropriate & patch it.Also I would recommend a full system scan [a online scan maybe] & updating the OS with latest patches from MS Update.

More details about the worm & its variants here
