I have had some e-mails asking about how to remove Sasser from an infected system so I thought I'd post this info and link up!
This tool will help to remove the Sasser (A-E) worm from infected systems. Once the tool has run—after the End-User License Agreement (EULA) is accepted—it automatically checks for infection and removes any of the targeted worms that are found.

After running, the tool displays a message describing the outcome of the detection and removal process. The tool can be safely deleted after it has run. Also, the tool creates a log file named sasscln.log in the %WINDIR%\debug folder.

This tool will not:

Detect or remove any viruses or worms other than Sasser, variants A-E

Detect or remove future variants of Sasser

Run on any version of Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows NT 4.0
To get this official Microsoft removal utility look no further!
