you also need to make sure windows is up to date : http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com - the patches from microsoft should actually stop you from getting re-infected.

yeah - I've been getting atacks from specific IP addresses too:

68.112.250.127

62.4.69.216

64.216.219.171

i've tried to track them but I come up empty, any ideas?

probably just infected machines, probably just best to leave your firewall on (eg zonealarm) and ignore them.

there's bound to be hundreds of pcs on the net still infected with MSBlast / Welchia etc.

all you can do is make sure your pc is protected as best as it can be with:
1. updated windows
2. updated a/v software
3. a firewall
