Yea I know.
By the way people:
One quick way to tell if you have the virus, is if the LSASS.exe program terminates unexpectedly, and causes the computer to restart. I beleive this happening is why the virusmaker called it "sasser" but I'm not sure.
The only way you can get this virus is if you don't have a firewall. If you do have a firewall, you may be noticing lots of port scans from other computers - this is the virus trying to find a way in to your computer. But don't worry it can't get in.
This virus does not spread itself via email, it spreads via FTP - so if you do have internet connection monitoring software, keep a close eye on FTP ports for suspicious traffic.
It is possible to start up your computer, and end the avserve.exe program before it terminates LSASS.exe - this will give you enough time to delete it from your computer.
