Perhaps you could try the sasser removal tool that Microsoft provides.
It says it works for A and B, but it'd be worth trying on C too...

-or-
Web install: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp
Computer Associates has a quick web page up detailing Sasser.D.

I haven't noticed problems on my systems yet, but that's probably
because the worm travels over port 445 which I am blocking at the subnet
border with IPSec.

Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Possible Sasser worm variants?
We are also seeing this, and the Symantec tool is not detecting on our
PCs either. The error message we see says, in part, "LSASS.exe
termintaed with code 128."

Hello fellow NAGers
I was wondering if anyone here has found evidence of new Sasser
worm
variants on campus PCs? We have a couple PCs that exhibit the
random
reboots that make me suspect they have been infected with the
Sasser worm,
but the removal tools I downloaded from Symantec have been run
repeatedly on
these PCs in safe mode and have not found any evidence of
Sasser. According
to Symantec, the removal tools cover the initial Sasser worm and
variants B
and C. I just wondered if anyone else has found evidence of
Sasser but have
been unable to get a removal tool to detect it's presence? I
surmise it is
some new variant that the removal tool is not able to locate and
remove.
Any others with this experience today?
Thanks!
