Blaster worm??

Oh dear, just tried me nephews puter nexr door, looks like he has this Blaster thingy, he is running windows XP, the machine keeps flagging up sHut down messages and shutting down which I understand is a sympton of this visus or worm or whatever it is.
Tried it yesterday and there was a warning from microsoft and what to do re this, tried to print it out but his printer is out of ink.
I am totaly unfamilier with XP, I cant even find the internet options or control panel.
Any website with info on this?does xp allow one to make a clean boot disk like win98?is there some way of disinfecting the machine?
The prob is my nephew is away on holiday at the mo so I have no idea what antivirus software he has on the machine.
