lsasser.exe

[John Salovaara]

I am having a major problem with my lsasser.exe file. It keeps shouting
down my system. I have tried the nortons av fix for the virus involving
lsasser, but it shows I have no virus. The code number that it shows me
when it shuts down is 1073741819. It shut down my nortons av conmpletely

Hi,

The virus is shutting down Norton's, so you will not be able to resolve it
that way. This is the sasser worm, please see:

http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_SASSER.A

To stop the shutdown, click start/run, type "shutdown -a" (without the
quotes) and click ok.

Details on the patch needed to prevent 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 Shutdown 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.
