Remove Sasser. Description and removal instructions

Title: Sasser
Type: Worms	Severity scale: (62 / 100)

Worm Sasser is a well-known Internet parasite that infects vulnerable computers, which have security breaches. It doesn't distribute itself by e-mail or some networks, but infects computers directly and doesn't depend on the user's actions. It installs itself to the system and searches for other vulnerable hosts. The worm can hang the infected computer or reboot it frequently. It also severely compromises the security of infected systems, so the attackers are able to connect and control them remotely.
