period of time the subscription will run out usually in 90-180 days at that
time they will have to purchase new protection either online or from a
retail store and at that time they will be able to update for a period of
365 days (1 year).

Here is the link to find the steps for removal. It also

gives you information to stop the shutdown long enough to
do the rest of the steps. I used this on a friend's
computer, however the I had to type into "Run" cdm, then
had to type into command line: shutdown.exe -a and that
stopped the shutdown. And I had to do it between the time
the shutdown in ....so many seconds came up and the time
that it actually shut down. You have to be fast or it
will beat you to the shutdown. I tried several times
before I "beat the sasser clock" At any rate. the link is

To abort a system shut down:
Start/Run/type "cmd" [omit quote markers], and click "OK". In the
subsequent Command Prompt window, type "shutdown -a" [omit quote
markers], and press the keyboard "Enter" key. Work quickly to avert that
oncoming shutdown.
If you want to view all possible shutdown switches, stick "shutdown -?"
in a Command Prompt window.
