I refer to a newsgroup item on 1 May 2004 about the above
subject. I have the same problem. Could I have some
suggestions please. At this stage I cannot connect to the
internet on the infected computer.

i've got the same virus, i can connect to the net though,
but a timer pops up giving 1 minute before the blasted
thing reboots itself. Have you found anyway of beating
it?
 
From command prompt: "shutdown -a" will abort the shutdown. You can then
patch/clean your system.
 
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.
