I'm trying to help a friend get rid of the Sasser virus off his Win2000
machine.
Since Sasser reboots the machine every few minutes, we can't stay on-line
long enough to get all the files & patches. We've downloaded the 589K
file but everytime we start the install (about 39 Meg) the system re-boots
after about 5 minutes.

Looking for a way to download all those files & patches via another machine?
