Run an updated virus scan.

Thank u so much.

Now my system is working properly. But I'm wondering why so many people got the same problem particularly the same day.

Once again thank u!

This is being caused by the w32.msblast.worm virus. Follow the link that bcastner posted for symantec and that should explain it well.
