E-Liam,
Microsoft issued the
fix for this worm some two weeks ago, so I can't see why you think they're no on the ball in this case?
Feline,
when I discovered sasser on this client's PC I did a ctrL+alt+delete and terminated anything that looking suspicious. Also did ran "msconfig.exe" and stopped various suspect application from starting - including avserve.exe. Then rebooted and ran NAV update and full scan as well as Windows update. Also checked and removed the avserver.exe entry in the registry. Activating the firewall might have helped too.
Norton was shown as being disabled 'cause it had a cross on the tray icon and if you hovered over it the icon dissapeared. No exactly black magic innit??!
Cheers
Charles
