Notice how all of these are your infected PC trying to talk to the outside 
world, and that there are no packets from the outside world to the infected 
PC? This will be due to your iptables commands blocking this from happening.. 
and given that the snapshot took place over 4 seconds, I would say you're 
quite safe :)

Yes, the infected PC will continue to spew out packets until it's fixed, but 
there is no danger, and your Internet bandwidth will no longer be affected.

Cheers,
Gavin.
