100 posts and I finally get a 'YES'

bittersweet ...It is none the less a ...Yes

I was? where?

she's done that(disconnected) now as far as(run cmd)and entering all those prompts, it is asking for more prompts

ok I fear a Total Format is needed

Carol...can you tell what is asking for more prompts...whether it's Stinger or Windows and what is the prompt asking for...

ok I fear a Total Format is needed

...I was thinking the same thing.

Well, Annie...it's you and me bab....wanta tango??

Gary, the prompt said invalid....Prompt

OK Carol....I'll work on that...tell your Sis to go to bed....right after she beats the hell out of the rug rats........

See ya tomorrow...

night night you two

Nite

My best guess...She has more worms than hooks.

Still no luck.......worm or worms still running amuck

...they'reeee backkkkkkkkk

OK Carol....if I remember right, your sister's buddy has Norton installed on their computer...correct?

I think so and he gave her the floppy with Stinger on it.

Oh and tonight she finally got her task manager to come up...... in muliples(150 times)but every time she tries to end task on skynetave.exe(there are others to rid of aswell) it says the program you are about to eliminate(spelling)is part of the system(whatever) This Sasser thing is trying to block what-ever is being thrown at it...........this is starting to really piss me off and it's not even my computer.......but, I feel I should try and help sis get out of this HUGE mess

OK...your Sister has Norton on hers. After a little research with the Cmd prompt disappearing and what not, it would appear she has much more then the Sasser virus and in all likely hood has done irreparable damage to the system files. Having said that, she has one chance before she does a full re-format. Go to the good computer and in Norton it has an option to create a DOS boot that will scan and kill the virus and attempt to fix the system files and Registry. Create the floppy and re-boot the infected machine with the disk in the drive. If for any reason it doesn't work, then she's done. If there is info on the HD that she can't afford to lose, she needs to take it to a computer shop and they can extract the files from it. In either case the drive will have to be re-formatted and the OS system re-loaded ...with the updates.

Good Luck......

I think I have to agree with Gary on this

Damn, the bloody bug won. >

Thanks Gary.....I'll let her know Thats what I feared(I had to do that a few years ago) As they say, "live and learn......the hard way Well, at least they caught the thug(in Germany) I hope they make some kind of example of the little s..t. Well, thanks for all your help(both you and Annie) and I hope this will never happen again Take care
