Hi, check microsoft as at one time they had a download specifically to
remove sasser
don't know if its still there. Try the Trend website have a free scan called
housecall(?) might catch it
remember to keep system restore off until virus removed.
Also worth a bit of research, but I have heard of a virus/spyware that
writes itself into the registry with a value that
keeps it hidden from anti-virus software but it was an "in the passing
conversation" and don't remember the details
Otherwise back up everything you can, reformat and restore and scan all
individual files restored from backup
