MS discovered a vulnerability in file sharing services, this can lead to remote attacks.
There is already a malware that uses this vulnerability.
The vulnerability is not recent as I said before, but I got it on an updated win2008 and an updated xp sp3 last Friday.

This worm blocks all access to av sites, also clamav sites for updates. You may notice that freshclam cannot update.
You can check by launching command line prompt and launch:
if the reply is something like
Ping request could not find host www.clamav.net. Please check the name and
try again.
|
then you
may be infected.

I suggest to try it
This worm also may block further accesses to windows update,
I've solved the problem by using a little utility called Dial-A-Fix
https://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix https://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix
Select all by clicking the green check, ignore if it says that ie version is not known,
click on Go button, also ignore if it says something about dll registration with your ie version
Please not it may also reset some of your network settings (I've got nothing changed anyway)
Do a windows update asap. After Dial-A-Fix the first time you launch windows update it may
take a while, since it flushes internal windows update db history log
