Oops - forgot to mention - the pint about this being from another
machine...
If this PC is behind a firewall, you have another machine on the local
network that is infected with the virus.

Sounds like the machine isn't patched against the DCOM exploit (which one!
;) )
This only happens when *another* machine on the network (or internet if the
machine is exposed) uses the DCOM exploit to drop a payload on the machine.
Installing XP SP2 will patch against this (and a host of other) exploits.
To
be honest, given the increase in security of SP2, there would have to be a
really serious reason not to update all of the XP machines as a matter of
course.
Ian.
