Sasser Worm opens security ports on the infected computer which makes it vulnerable to hackers who can use these open ports to implant Spyware and Trojan Programs.
There are two obvious symptons of the Sasser Worm:
* A fatal error pop up asking if you would like to send the report to microsoft or not.
* After a few minutes of computer use, a 60 second count down occurs saying that the computer will automatically shut down in the allotted time.
I have tried the following patches:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ (McAfee)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;841720 (Microsoft)
Yet, the sasser worm is still there.
I have also tried running hte patches with out being connected to the internet and with system restore disabled.
Any suggestions?
