This is the "conficker" worm, it is said that it only infects windows machines that aren't being updated from the microsoft site. Nobody knew what it was going to do, I expect it's doing that whatever it is now, it probably isn't a problem if your machine is updated automatically, or failing that fairly frequently. Still, it pays to be careful, I've got a virus scan running at the moment.
