Yes, but don't forget to delete the corresponding registy entry. Also
install the security update i recommended [1]. With that update, you won't
be infected another time (btw, i'm currently online for ~ 40 minutes and
i'm counting over 100 access attempts to my PC over port 135, i'm quite
sure that's where the worm came from).

It is said the be quite harmless. It only spreads itself and restarts
Windows XP computers. But of course, it crashed my Windows 2000 PC and
it will cause a huge amount of traffic. Tomorrow many enterprises and
firms will have to face a problem...
