That doesn't sound too bad. I would be wary of everybody having change but
it really depends on what exactly the shares are. Admin shares do not
usually let you view the properties for them since they are irrelevant so
if
you can change the permissions, they are probably not admin shares. Since
change is not full access, it is not too huge a security risk at this
point.

However, for now I suggest ignoring the shares and trying to secure the
system. I noticed one of the AV companies is releasing a stand alone tool
to
combat this virus so we may as well install a few other things and restart
the WWW service to see what happens.
