Sasser virus really sucks, as do the originators of this trash

Creators of virus infections should be gutted while alive and hung upside down to die slowly. Sasser virus has infected (at last count) over 1 million PCs (edited 5/5/4 -18 million is the projected possibility of infections). Then some jerk comes along and sends emails disguised as a "sasser virus fix" that are infected with the Netsky virus. Satan truly exists and these people are his lowest scumbag minions. It's just not fair for hard working people to have to endure this barnyard material. Time is so precious and mine has been spent cleaning up this malarky the past two days.

If you have been doing Microsoft Critical Updates properly then you will not be infected. Geez! How many times have I mentioned how important these updates are to the health of your machine? Not enough? Some folks are just natural born rocket scientists and know more than anyone about anything. They are probably infected with sasser.

To read about this on the web do a google search for sasser. It's everywhere. There are some removal tools available and the 835732 critical update HAS to be downloaded and installed. Also, turn off system restore until you are sure the virus is removed. Then turn on a firewall. Use the free version of ZoneAlarm or the wimpy Windows firewall. There's an email address at the top of links list (SEND AN EMAIL) if you need help.
