Yes.  Worm is better known as Worm.Bymer  or w32.hllw.Bymer

To remove message run sysedit select win.ini file
find load=  and run= lines  and delete c:\windows\system\wininit.exe

Worm description and step by step removing instructions are in

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.hllw.bymer.html

Some recommendations.
1) worm spreads over shared network resources. If possible never
   share whole disk at least do not allow writing
2) use firewall.
