Re: [Simply Computers] Worm Variant W32.Sasser.B.Worm!

 

See if you can get the task manager to come up during those 60 seconds
by pressing Ctrl+Alt+del. If you can, run a new task. type cmd and
press enter to see if you can get the task manager to come up.

The whole point I am leading up to is you can type shutdown -a in a
command window and press Enter to abort the shutdown. Then you will be
able to run your removel tools etc. There is more about this at
