Sounds like you have the welchia worm. A variant of blaster.

Go to this web address. I had the same problem, I actually did SP4, but it wouldn't do the rest. Found this fix and was able to finish the critical updates.
GOOD LUCK!!http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/8205.html

ok well at this point i have reformated my c drive and erased all partitions. however now when trying to install win2k, an error message pops up saying it cannot copy certain files, specifically a cryptdu.dll. i believe that is the first one it stops on. at this point i have to either quit setup or try to skip that file, which it warns will make windows not run correctly.
what should i do at this point to resolve this ?
I wouild like to simply start fresh, make sure the drive is completly wiped and retry win2k
i dont think my win2k disk is corrupt bc i actually made it through a fresh install last night, but froze on SP4, and SP2 and was unable to delete them bc it said it could not copy certain files just like what i previously described. also after reinstalling it again, i lost all networking stacks so that my only option under networking in control panel was to create a new dial up connection. ive noticed a huge lag in my bandwith also.
is it all related somehow ? is this welchia ? is it somehow staying on my c drive to keep messing me up?
pls help thanks
