Symantec W32.Sasser Removal Tool is a removal tool to clean the infections of the following variants of the W32.Sasser worm: W32.Sasser.Worm, W32.Sasser.B.Worm, W32.Sasser.C.Worm, W32.Sasser.D, W32.Sasser.E.Worm, and W32.Sasser.G.

The W32.Sasser family of worms can run on (but not infect) Windows 9x/Me computers. Although these operating systems cannot be infected, they can still be used to infect vulnerable systems that they are able to connect to. In this case, the worm will waste a lot of resources so that programs cannot run properly, including our removal tool. (On Windows 9x/Me computers, the tool should be run in Safe mode.)
