Task Manager?

Saturday, May 8, 2004 by carolelee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Anyone know if you can get the Windows task manager to come up other than using the three finger salute(alt-ctrl-delete?) My sister has the Sasser worm and she can't get the task manager to come up......any ideas?

Malicious destruction...vandalism....is nothing more than urban terrorism. This Virus creator exposed people to 'physical' injury, beyond the capacity of most to overcome. I'd personally split his fingernails and slit his nostrils and feed him to the dogs...but then I'm a nice, conservative fellow...

I like your thought on this little scum, another way is to hang him up by his short&curlies

I like the idea of him spending a day in jail for each computer he borked. Even if he just had to do an hour of community service, real service...not that roadside trash pick-up crap, but something that benefits folks less fortune, for each bugged up PC, I bet he still be looking at 50+ years.

What they should do, is make him work on Internet security at slave wages for the next 15 years. And during this time, if he isn''t productive, then we hurt him.

New Sasser version may be circulating
German suspect apparently released it before arrest

For anyone who thinks they have this or might think about getting one of these, go here http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.asp run the scan in step #3(or download it because sasser will take your connection south). If you're not sure if you have the patch for the original, look in 'Add/Remove Programs' for Hotfix 835732. No one is quite sure what's in the newest variant or if, in fact, this idiot released it prior to getting jailed. Stay tuned...

The computer store will be able to run a virus cleaner on it without reformatting.  You don't want her to reformat unless she has to since she will lose everything.  Most computer places will be able to clean the computer without a reformat.

I haven't read all of this, but if she can get to safe mode, she can kill all the worm processes then get to McAffee online and get it cleaned off.  McAffee can scan and remove from remote unlike Norton.  I ended up with McAffee after an internet worm got my home PC.  The worm hijacked Norton's online connection, so Norton couldn't update to fix the worm.  McAffee was the only way that we could get rid of it.

Thanks KarmaGirl for your help, I will let my sister know(she bought her computer at Radio Shack and they did offer to clean it for her for a small fee) I did guide her through safe mode(via telephone) and it wouldn't change anything This worm and possible buddies have a good grip on her system, but I'm sure it will be eliminated.......thanks

BTW, Norton was kicked out of her system by Sasser. Wow, what a nasty bugger!! >
