if kaspersky detect it so it's block this netwrok attach ..

your network maybe have a virus using port 445 like Sasser i think .. but don't worry kaspersky block this kind of attacks ..

Here are the step-by-step instructions to close port 445 in Windows XP:

   1. Click "Start"
   2. Click "Run..."
   3. Where it says "Open:" type "regedit"
   4. Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters
   5. Find the value "TransportBindName" and right-click it to open up a menu of options.
   6. Click "Modify" (it is in bold text)
   7. Where it says "Value data:" delete whatever is in the box so the box is blank. The blank entry is what closes the port.
   8. Click "OK"
   9. Close the registry and reboot.

That takes care of it, now you are much safer from other machines on your local network, or if you are plugged into a cable modem without a router.

This indeed may indicate your network is infected, especially the machines originating the attack "192.168.100.2, 192.168.100.32, 192.168.100.243, 192.168.100.133"

you will also need to ensure that your machjine has the latest available windows updates , as well as office, internet explorer & any other 3rd party software (adobe flash, Acrobat, etc..)

Zo3FoL has hit the nail on the head by pointing you at resources regarding the MS08-67 vulnerability.  Kaspersky has detected attempts to exploit this vulnerability in the windows server service and prevented the buffer overflow that leads to the code execution used to propagate the malware.

The malware in question is most likely Conficker/Downadup and you'll find lots of documents on EE and on the web regarding protection from and removal of Conficker:

Have a read of this answer where the expert advises on how to set-up a share on the network containing the files needed to disinfect and patch infected machines and then using the 'psexec' tool to run a script on each of the infected machines:

If you need any help with any of the steps detailed at that link, we'll be happy to help.

This is more information about Conficker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conficker & http://www.microsoft.com/security/worms/conficker.aspx

Applying the patch I mentioned at my first post MS08-067 on our hosts, should prevent this worm from spreading or infecting machines.

You could also try running Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer  (MBSA) (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/cc184923.aspx) , which allows you to scan your hosts for missing patches or vulnerabilities.

You could also try running a removal tool (like Sophos Conficker cleaner, for a network) : http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/51416.html & http://www.sophos.com/kb/54457.html ..

Other information from Symantec: http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2009-011316-0247-99

As a final step, you can run Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tools: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx
And Windows Live Safety Scanner: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm?s_cid=sah

I think this should get rid of it on any infected PC :) Hope this helps.

You'll have to visit each machine in turn and manually patch and disinfect.  The following link
http://www.mcafee.com/us/threat_center/conficker.html
will tell you what you need to know and in the right-hand pane is a link to their Stinger tool which will remove conficker.

I suggest you download the patch which will prevent future infection via the server service

Win 2000 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E22EB3AE-1295-4FE2-9775-6F43C5C2AED3&displaylang=en
Win XP http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0D5F9B6E-9265-44B9-A376-2067B73D6A03&displaylang=en

and then patch each machine before running the Stinger tool to remove the infection.

disconnect all PCs in your network and try to disinfect  one PC after another that's will keep the worm out of the PC that you clean and after you clean the whole PCs connect them together again ..
