Microsoft's webcast yesterday indicated that the presence of Sasser could be detected by any of, or a combination of, three symptoms, one of which was sluggish operation. They have a nice Sasser detection button on their web page at http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tim Potter Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 11:10 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Possible Sasser worm variants? Has anyone had any Win 2000 machines become EXTREMELY sluggish due to one of these worms (taking 10 min. or so for every single process, mouse click, etc)? I've run the latest/ greatest removal tools from Symantec for W32.Sasser.D and done a full scan from a good machine w/ the latest NAV definitions (5/4) & come up with nothing. An ACNS help desk tech. was confident that the Sasser worm was causing this sort of problem on other PCs around campus, but I've only seen others here describe random reboots so far. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated, Tim ********************** Tim Potter <>< Information Officer MSU Alumni Association E.
