Sasser D now --- Xp is wide open to this kind of thing especially in the hands of the average user who dosen't know the importance of MS updates AV and Firewalls. .
For anybody with an infestation the Symmantic fix util FxSasser.exe works very nicely.

We run a mixture of 98Se, NT4 and a couple of flavours of Linux all sitting behind good harware and software firewalls so feel relatively smugg but sooner or later because of lack of support for Nt and Win98 the windoze computers are going to have to go Xp. In the interim I am going to try and pick some Win 2000 licenses off eBay and run that.
