My employer has a very strong firewall, but I can tell you from experience
that our network was not protected.

MS offers free antidote for Sasser
Has announced a free tool to help organizations
automatically remove the Sasser worm (W32.Sasser.A and
its variants) from infected PCs.
NEW DELHI: Microsoft Corporation India Pvt Ltd has
announced a tool to help organizations automatically
remove the Sasser worm (W32.Sasser.A and its variants)
from infected PCs. The tool is available free of cost,
and can be downloaded immediately from
www.microsoft.com/india/security.
Microsoft also
informed
customers that they could protect against these
attacks by first ensuring that their firewall is in
place, and then installing Microsoft Security Update
MS04-011 immediately.
The MS04-011 security bulletin was issued by Microsoft
on April 13, and is available as a free download at
www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-011.mspx.
Alternately, users can use the Windows Update service
to access the latest security update. Customers who
require assistance can call the Microsoft India's
free virus-support helpline at 1-901-33-33-34.
Microsoft is working closely with the anti-virus
community and other industry partners to help protect
its customers. Customers using a firewall -- including
the firewall in Windows XP, as well as third-party
hardware or software firewalls -- are generally
protected against the Sasser threat.
Commenting Microsoft India enterprise marketing
manager, Jasminder Gulati, "We are working closely
with our partner community to ensure that customers
are
aware of the tools available to them, and have the
required help and support to implement these measures
to protect themselves."
