| My computer is infected with the Sasser worm. I tried to follow the mitigation steps to clean up my 
computer, but my computer does not have the *_up.exe OR the avserve.exe file, nor are these files listed under 
system processes in the Task Manager! What should I do? Should I go ahead and install the patch, even though 
the worm may still be on my computer? I know that I have the worm, as I was getting the error message and my 
computer was shutting down every few minutes. Thanks.
