Windows XP and accessing the internet

[Guest]

Just upgraded to windows XP Pro and about 2mins after being on the internet
a error message comes up regarding a problem with "LSA.EXE". Then my computor
restarts. Before upgrade from Win98SE no problems.

It appears your PC is infected with the Sasser worm.

I would strongly recommend installing Service Pack 2
for Windows XP after removing the Sasser worm.

You have been infected by the Sasser worm.

Go to http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ and download and run
stinger.exe. Then ensure that you have up to date antivirus
software and a firewall.
If you haven't installed a firewall, the www.zonelabs.com has a free
download of zonealarm.
