This is what the log will look like (if the system is clean) after running Microsoft Sasser Removal tool:

Microsoft Sasser removal tool (build 1.159) started on Thu May 13 12:56:31 2004
Checking 40 processes.
Checking startup registry keys for current user.
Checking keys for 7 other users
Checking known Sasser filenames.
**** No Sasser infection found ****
Microsoft Sasser removal tool stopped on Thu May 13 12:56:32 2004

The log file is named sasscln.log and located in %WINDIR%\debug folder

I hope majority of the computers are clean :-)

The Supported Operating Systems to run the above tool are Windows 2000, & Windows XP.

If you are using an Operating System other than the above-mentioed OS, try using Symantec's removal tool (follow the instructions provided by Symantec on how to use the tool) - http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sasser.removal.tool.html

But before you begin:
If you are running Windows 2000 or XP, and have not yet done so, you must patch for the vulnerability described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011. If you do not, it is likely that your computer will continue to be reinfected. - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-011.mspx
