its not actually that "smart"

when it infects a machine, it opens up 128 tcp ports to random ips and tries to infect them. Sasser C opens up 1024 making the computer virtually unusable.

This is a time where it really pays to have a legit copy of XP... and not ignore the auto updater.

oh well... anyone have any suggestions for a small, easy to use but decent firewall program?

I've actually gotten a short term contract job doing support for Microsoft for this worm. I think i've taken over 130 calls for this bloody virus and it's fucking booooooring telling people how to fix it over and over and over again.

go to www.microsoft.com/security -> sasser worm and do steps 1-3

if anyone needs more detailed help let me know.

Oh and W98 can be affected by one of the varients, your machine doesn't crash but it will slow down while the worm sends itself to other vulnerable machines.

if you have XP then there's a build in firewall that you can turn on. Just goto the properties of your net connection and goto advanced and tick off protect my PC.

I don't have a legit copy of XP, but thankfully, I heard about this at uni on Tuesday, and when I got home, my non-legit copy of XP had already updated itself.
