I was recently infected with the Sasser virus, but was able to successfully uninfect my computer through the use of Symantec's sasser removal tool, Housecall Antivirus, and throwing my computer against the wall, or so I thought.
Anytime I connect to the internet, I get a pop-up internet explorer window with a dialog that says, "YOU HAVE BEEN INFECTED BY SASSER, Click OK to disinfect" with the option of OK and cancel. I always hit the X to exit the window.
I went to microsoft.com to have their website scan to see if I was infected, because Housecall and the Symantec tool claimed I was clean, and according to microsoft.com, I came up clean too.
So, thinking maybe the virus had installed some sort of spyware on my computer, I ran Ad-Aware with the latest update, and it also came up with nothing except a few cookies, which I deleted.
I also have 2 or 3 internet and file history erasers installed, for privacy issues, that would clear out most of my cookies every time I shut down.
Is anyone else getting this window and how the heck do I get rid of it?
