Yep, ran into this a number of times. If you are running XP, you probably will want to disable system restore before you remove it (reenable it when you're done).

Updated antivirus software should be able to detect it, right? I've always found AVG to be reliable enough in finding any king of intrusion to my computer.

Antiviruses aren't always successful in removing these. You should use removal tools to remove fatal viruses like this wink.gif...

Correct. My dad got bit by this virus because he is extremely computer illiterate and keeps turning off his virus scanner somehow. Anyway, he has a current and updated version of norton antivirus. It detected some files infected by sasser but could not clean/delete them due to the nature of the infected files and the virus. The cleaning programs will do some very low level things including cleaning memory, etc to make sure that there is no trace whatsoever of it remaining.

This worm is quite annoying! Tsk, it really gave me a hard time when I tried to fix it in my dad's office PC. Dang! Good thing there are articles in the net about fixing things. I found this - http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.mspx - Well, it provides some protection against the worm but the article is focused on Windows users.
