But are you saying that by simply logging on the net (inserting the cable) is enough to get the worm if my friend has it?!
Yes that sure is enough to get infected. When you want to do a clean install, unplug the system from the net. Install Windows, Firewall and av software. Than connect and inmediatly get/install ALL security patches updates for the OS, latest vps database before doing anything else. Better is even get those patches and updates on a properly working and protected system, put them on a cd and install them on the newly setup system before connecting.
I suggest you follow all steps as explained on the page in my signature.
