Task Manager?

Published on May 8, 2004 By carolelee In WinCustomize Talk

Anyone know if you can get the Windows task manager to come up other than using the three finger salute(alt-ctrl-delete?) My sister has the Sasser worm and she can't get the task manager to come up......any ideas?

This worm may cause LSASS.EXE to stop responding, which forces the operating system to shut down after 60 seconds. If your computer starts to shut down, follow these steps to abort any system shutdown that may be in progress.

On the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, click Start, and then click Run.
Type: cmd and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type: shutdown.exe -a and then press ENTER.

This is optional and I don't think she'll need to do it, but just in case:

You can temporarily remove the vulnerability that allows the worm to infect your computer by creating a log file.

Create the log file

On the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, click Start, and then click Run.
Type: cmd and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type: echo dcpromo >%systemroot%\debug\dcpromo.log and then press ENTER.
Make the log file read-only

At the command prompt, type: attrib +R %systemroot%\debug\dcpromo.log and then press ENTER.

If she wants to disconnect from the internet, have her just unplug the J45 plug from the back of her computer or modem.
