That is the Blaster Virus. There is a patch available from Microsoft.

Its either the Blaster Worm, or its the W32.Sasser.D Worm. Just update your OS and AV, you'll be right.

When it does that shutdown thing, does it say "***********************/lsass.exe?
If so, you have sasser worm. My friend just got over the bastard. Nice fix at MS.com

That barstard virus brought the entire school network down to it knees. It was so funny to watch all the juniors start their work, and have this little message telling them their computer is about to shut down. A couple of them broke down after i told them they had broken the computer, and that it probably will never work ever again.

You'd have to blame the network admin for that - I mean do none of the computers have a firewall? yikes

Anyways just enable a firewall and download the patches as stated.

If you did get the shutdown message whilst downloading/installing the patches just:

Start>Cmd>Shutdown -a

its the win blaster one cos the sasser virus does tell you that the computer is shuttin down it just does it

My friend had it and it simulated Blaster Worm exactly (except what the message said) It gave him one minute. Gracious piece of malicious software, it is.

I am behind a router, and I usually keep a firewall turned on. I also update Windows occasionaly. I have never gotten any of these viruses. *knock on wood*

[Valholy]

i think its the blaster one because it gives me the message and it does not say issas.exe it says that win32.exe had problems or something like that can you give me a link to the antivirus?

[Valholy]

now it says issas.exe i think im in a real trouble, but this virus is the one causing the slow down of my computer as well? any link to get rid of it?

[Foxhound]

www.microsoft.com I think, since I read one of the guys saying ms.com had a fix for it and I am assuming that ms is short for microsoft in this case.

yep, sasser eats up your memory, that's why it's so slow. I had it on my computer, and i t w a s sloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww.... get the update ad msn.

www.microsoft.com/windowsupdate

Go there. You have to be using IE when you do, but this will see what updates you need. Then you can install them accordingly.

thanks i think its getting worse because i was seeing a video then it got stuck and when i tried to open it again it said that the media player couldnt be found,then i entered my programs and all of themm were gone it is a problem caused by the same virus?
