sir what that's mean? is someone try to hake my computer. is kaspersky not able to stop that?and what action i should take?
sorry for my bad English

Answer
Update your XP to SP3. Also use Autopatcher (available as a free download at http://www.autopatcher.com/ ) to keep the Windows updated subsequently after SP3.

Also keep your Kaspersky updated. The log files are indicating a successful containment of the intrusion attempt. It is an automated attack (self propagating worm).

Your PC is apparently safe - for the time being.
