I had exactly that prob when I first installed XP a couple of months ago. For some stupid reason I assumed that the CD would be reasonably up to date, but I was very wrong.
I didn't even think about autonomous worms since I had used 98 until that point with relatively few incidents (apart from IE holes)
I decided it would be quicker to wipe it, firewall it at my router (only permitting outbound port 80 access), then reinstall. This way I could download and install all the necessary updates without any worms bugging me.
