    sasser worm
    « on: November 08, 2004, 10:18:58 AM »
    I am working on a computer that I know has the sasser worm. I know exactly how to treat and get rid of the worm, however the worm causes the computer to shutdown before the desktop can be viewed. I am wondering if there is any way to stop the shut down without having access  to the desktop?

    If anyone has any suggestions or has encountered this problem PLEASE respond!

    Thak you in advance

    See if it will boot to Safe Mode without shutting down.  Then try running this:  http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

      It was my understanding that you can't connect to the internet when operating in safe mode?

        If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

          You can't. Unless you use the option 'With Network support' (Windows XP)

          But you don't have to if you place Stinger on a CD-R. (Not a floppy, since that's writeable)
