Re: Possible New Sasser Variant

rename taskmgr.exe to a different name. Most likely the virus is

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I work in Technical support for BT Yahoo Broadband and had a call from
a =
guy who appeared to have the sasser, the system was shutting down when
=
trying to access websites, and I attempted to fix the problem using =
CTRL+ALT+DEL and kill the lsasss process, however, when I do that, Task
=
Manager does not appear. I get an egg-timer for about a second and it
=
disappears. A quick google did not find me mention of a variant of =
sasser which killer Task Manager.=20

Have I found a new variant, or is this already known?

Cheers
