    Can someone please help?

    I have followed the instructions from the microsoft website but when I run the program WindowsXP-KB835732-x86-ENU it starts to install the necessary files but the pop-up disappears before I can click on 'next' or 'I agree' and the sasser virus remains on my computer.

    Any Ideas?

    I don't think that the virus can be removed by installing that update.

    Download the appropriate W32.Sasser Removal Tool

    As I understand it, WindowsXP-KB835732-x86-ENU has been saved to Your harddisk.

    Disconnect from the internet, run the appropriate Removal Tool and then install KB835732.
