I most likely was the same issue.

I downloaded the latest patch rom MS
and then followed symantec advice as below
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...ster.worm.html

1Disable System Restore (Windows XP).
2Update the virus definitions.
3End the Trojan process.
4Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as W32.Blaster.Worm.
5Reverse the changes that the Trojan made to the registry.

thanks for the help. P
