  Have fun.
  
  Sounds like it's of Chinese origin.
  
  

  "~~~Bloodred~~~owns~~~you~~~xoxo~~~2004", so that only one instance of the worm runs on the computer.

  Chances are, you will need to reformat, because even Windows back up copies (C:\i386 or C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 and C:\Windows\system32\dllcache) are corrupted by the worm.
  
  Maybe sfc /scannow command will work... have not tried yet. You need to boot into DOS. This method requires the Windows CD.
  
  Note that sfc /scannow only repairs or replaces Windows files, it doesn't help repair all your corrupted programs. Reinstall them is the only solution.
  
  Edit: corrected minor errors.

  Because Vista isn't so popular.
  
  Once XP is out... I expect it somewhere along mid of this of this year or by the end of this year... you will see more exploits on Vista...

  Imaging?
  
  Hidden partition?
  
  DOS?
  
  And don't tell me System Restore... unless it doesn't corrupt Windows files, I could at least dream of it.
