Hey,
I don't know much about computers but there are some measures you could take. For example there are small applications which are like Mini Virus scanners you could load onto your computer to get rid of Junkie. Also go to this link
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/dyn/2278.html - All this link tells you to do is update your virus scanner, lol but still good idea to visit just incase i missed something out.
It's Norton AntiVirus and sometimes at their website (www.symantec.com) they can tell you how to get rid of the virus. If you got infected by MsBlast, it will tell you how to get rid of it as well.
Good luck with your Junkie prob. I had that virus when i had a 486 and i didn't get rid of it, lol (maybe because my dad didn't know nothing and i was little, haha)
