243958 2004-06-13 03:27:00 A friend has been hit with this virus/worm. As a precaution, I updated my Norton virus definitions and on looking therein could not find Sasser listed at all ???. Am i really up to date? Cymbalz (4460)
243959 2004-06-13 03:37:00 Look for W32sasser in Norton AV.

Your best defence against sasser is to have an up to date/patched windows OS. If you use XP, turn off its firewall and use one that can limit data in both directions like Kerio, Agnitum Outpost or Zone Alarm.

Click Start
Click Run
type in:
cmd
Now, type the following:
echo dcpromo >%systemroot%\debug\dcpromo.log & attrib +r %systemroot%\debug\dcpromo.log

You're now safe from catching the worm, but wont help if you've already got it.


Chill.
