Sasser Worm Virus & WINDOWS 2000 file

[LaVerne Davis]

I sincerely hope you can help! I was making hotel
reservations on Expedia.com when I received the notice
that my computer was shutting down. I knew nothing about
checking for the Sasser worm virus at that time (2 weeks
ago). I saw the message C:\WINDOWS\System32\lsass.exe and
assumed that was the virus. I deleted that file from my
computer (a stupid thing to do)but, because I was in a
hurry and not thinking, I did that.

Now Windows 2000 trys to load and then all I get is a blue
screen when I turn my computer on--
Windows 2000 Product code HG006, on my Del Dimension, XPS
R450 Pentium II. What do I need to do to restore that
file. THANKS!!!

Hi,

You can try running a repair of your Windows [Not garunteed to resolve this issue ] Please see the steps below.

1. Insert your Windows 2000 CD
2. Restart the machine
3. Press the key specified to enter your BIOS. In most cases you need to press Del to enter the BIOS setup. You should see a message on startup, right in the beginning, which says something like “press <key> to enter setupâ€. E.g. Press Del to enter setup
4. Go into either the Boot section, if you have one, or the 2nd option (should be something like “BIOS features setup†or “Advanced BIOS featuresâ€)
5. Change to boot sequence (should show as “boot sequence†or first boot device; 2nd boot device; 3rd boot device; etc.) so that CD-ROM is first
6. Exit saving changes
7. When you see the message to press any key to boot from CD, press any key
8. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen, press Enter to do a clean install
9. Press F8 to agree to the license agreement
10. Press R to run a repair install
11. Let setup run through. Do not press any key to boot from CD when the machine restarts
