stupid computer question

i <3 Firefox. :slight_smile:

aight, downloaded that program.

I think i have this sasser virus shit. Problem is, im trying to follow the steps to get rid of it, but it keeps telling me i dont have admin privelages so it wont let me install the files i need to fix. WTF? Any tips?

log into the pc as admin… not knappie or princess or whitey… but administrator. then you’ll be fine… if you are on a home domain, you can add that user domain/user to the control panel/users and groups… then you’ll have full admin rights.

a lot of hte time it’s just that virus BS talking about rights, not the actual pc. you should boot up, press f8, load safe mode and run the removal…

you could just blow away your profile (c:\docs and sets\knappie) , just copy all that (legit stuff… ie my documents/ anything worth it) into another folder called ‘dickwad’ and now you have a username ‘dickwad’ that you can log in as… just don’t copy the temp interweb files / temp folder (located in c:\docs and sets\knappie\local settings) and you should be fine.

make sure you scan sys32, seems like that is where sasser is saving itself.
