I've just downloaded and installed the W2000 patch so maybe that will do the trick, but what I do not get is
1, how / where I got the virus in the first place (I am on a dial-up) - does it have to be email? and
2, why I am still getting the svchost errors (maybe the patch really will have fixed that though I suspect it doesn't work quite so nicely as that)

I haven't read all the responses, but I can tell you this...It is self replicating and requires no user interaction. You don't have to open an email. If you don't have the patch it will get you no matter what you do or don't do.
It's proven to me because the only thing I have done in the last 4 days is surf. No e-mail, no nothing. Still was infected.
