Sasser virus?

[Guest]

My computer, using XP Home edition, has been acting as if it has the sasser virus. I ran fxsasser.exe from Norton, but no virus was detected. Message w32 sasser worm has not been found. Symptoms are: while online, get message system is shutting down code 1073741819. After restarting get MS feedback window. Problem is related to LSA shell export version. Anyone know what’s going on and what to do about it?

Greetings --

You've apparently contracted the latest worm, W32.Sasser.Worm,
specifically designed to attack people who do not update their
computers promptly and who do not practice "safe hex." In other
words, like Blaster, this worm was developed and distributed _after_ a
patch for the vulnerability was announced and made publicly available.
Further, and also like Blaster, this worm could not affect any
computer whose user had taken the basic precaution of using a properly
configured firewall.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
