nurkvinny Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Some virus or worm or witch has hosed my system good this time. I had the usual homepage redirect bs and some 'search' pages. The combination of SpyBot, HyJackThis, AdAware, etc has usually fixed all of these issues. If not, no biggy, I'd just do a system restore to minus 1 or 2 days back, and all is well. Well, tonight, I can't even run Sytem Restore, or System Info, or Help&Support, or any other damn utility to restore my PC. I've been through the Hosts file, the system prefetch, the startup programs, deleted ALL temp files and uninstalled any and everything that looked fishy. So, any ideas what has hyjacked this PC to the point that I can't even do a system restore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Dunno without looking, but I DO know that a user here at work is bringing me her XP installed laptop today because the new Sasser worm owned her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl1647545488 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yesterday I had to look at a friend's PC due to the Sasser worm. Today I have to go to another family's house as well. Basically the symptom is that their PC keeps restarting. You can go here to see if you are infected and how to remove it. Here's another link for a program that should remove it as well: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixing PC > replacing spark plugs I am taking it into work with me tomorrow. I was up til past 4am f'ing with it, and it's still hozered. Wouldn't hurt to wipe the thing out and start fresh anyway.

Guest jpurdy2003 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Sasser has owned my PC, and it won't even start in safe mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Sasser hit us pretty hard here at work. I am heading up the clean up process here. It is a pretty simple patch. If anyone needs any help let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 No problems with the sasser worm here.. That patch came out at the beginning of April so automatic updates already took care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl1647545488 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Same here, Windows Update is my friend. smile.gif Unfortunately, there are people out there who don't know much about computers and internet. Yesterday I scanned a friend's computer and it had 87 instances of the W32.Sasser.B worm. I installed the patch and updated their anti-virus. Now they know the importance of updating.

KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Well here is the problem when you have a network as large as Cardinal with this many computers the patches have to be scheduled to be installed. This is a very lengthy process and if 1 machine is not patched then it is an open door. I sure some of the more computer literate people will understand this. It is not alway as easy as running an update on 1 machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 860+ just in my facility alone. SUS update sucks ass, so now we've gotta go back to each PC manually and apply the patches and virus scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
