means the file had a Worm virus that was blocked by your firewall. meaning the file you ran tried to enter your computer through port # 1490. It sucks, but you're likely still safe.
if you hadn't had the firewall, concievably you could have had your computer compromised. anything from just recieving spam, to it to the worst, it being remotely takenover and examines by crooks and who knows what they would have done. So thank your lucky stars and run an adittional virus scan on your machine... Probably you should also clear out your caches internet files and cookies, just in case...
