oh great, my pc got infected with the Sasser worm

what a way to start my day!

when i booted my pc today, i got this LSASS (?!) error message and then the Microsoft OCA page opened which says i got infected with the Sasser worm. just damn great

i've already downloaded the patch that was available in the Microsoft site. i hope that this patch REALLy works.  or else, i my day would be spent backing up my files, downloading patches and anti-virus definitions.

i'm wondering why my Symantec didn't alert me. i checked my Symantec version and the latest version downloaded is May 9. hmmmm.

but i'm very amazed with the creator of the Sasser worm. he's a genius.
