Anybody else get the Sasser virus?

[Cleita]

I just got my computer back. I was attacked last Friday. If you haven't updated your operating system software and your security software do it NOW.

1. Sorry, no...I'm on a Mac n/t

2. WindowsME here

Such a shitty product that even worms won't touch it.

[Cleita]

3. Haha.

Sounds like my old Ford Escort. So shitty, no one would steal it.

4. What did it to to your puter?

The only thing I've heard is that it is a problem, not the nature of the attack.

6. It keeps shutting your computer down, so you lose work

and have to keep rebooting. Then it made it appear that my documents and software had been wiped out. I was left with my desktop and icons and nothing else. It wasn't so because the computer guy was able to retrieve everything.

5. I've been on DU too much

Some one has got a back door in my system now. I am not worried about it being i am not doing any thing wrong speaking out against Bush and his fascist regime.

7. It does come in a back door, not email.

eom

8. No ...My anti virus said it was a back door

but the lates updates could not do any thing about it. Said it was in Windows/system32/oqqjpo32.exe

does that sound like what you had

[Cleita]

10. Yeah, but all I know is that I have XP.

I have a couple of local guys here who fixed it.

9. Fix: roll your clock back (years) after the shut down message pops up

Disconnect from the internet, update your antivirus software, and get windows security pack 1. It's pretty easy, my old piece did it just fine.

11. Thanks, I printed this out for future reference.

eom

[mstrsplinter326]

13. no prob, find me later if you need more advice (n/t)

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Nope. Hubby is a computer repairman and patched us up as soon as he

heard about it.

[DrWeird]

14. nt

[Deja Q]

15. Windows emulation with h/w and s/w firewalls and antivirus

No problems here.

Yet...
