Sasser (A-E) Worm Removal Tool
Posted: Mon May 10, 2004 11:52 pm
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!
To get this official Microsoft removal utility look no further!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
