Sucks to be you. I know that sp1 carries some very unpleasent liscencing with it (or was that only with wk2?), but if you need that service pack to install the patch, you have to use it. I don't know if you can try to install the patch without sp1, but I suppose it won't hurt to much to try....
Anti-virus will clean your computer off and a firewall can block port 135, but you will still be vunerable to this exploit, or at least HAVE it, but I suppose if you took those precausions you should be safe for now(after you uninstall the current bug)...
There are ways of manually removing the worm. here is a good place, found it on google by looking for: rpc msblaster worm remove, it was the third link , That has some decent details what it does to your computer and how to remove it manually...
Of course it may not be the actual MSblaster worm, there are plenty of other MS viruses out their and you could have one of those. Nowadays spending a bit extra on good virus protection is a must if your a windows user.
