Hi...

Daughter's computer is on W2K, infected with Sasser. MS
fix page says to download and install 835732, which we
have done, and now the login takes 10 minutes to arrive
after reboot -- this clearly is one machine that is
affected by the problem MS acknowledges in another
bulletin. But it's a required patch to stop future
infections by Sasser, so I'm in a catch-22.

If you have any ideas, please email me directly.

Thanks
cp
