Hi,
My laptop has acquired the lsass.exe ("Sasser"?) virus. Unfortunately I can no longer connect to the internet on this computer because of this, so I cannot send a HiJack log or any other kind of information.
To make matters worse, I (somehow, and for some foolish reason) deleted an lsass.exe file in C:/winnt/system32 when I was in DOS and now I can no longer boot into Windows (neither regularly nor in safe mode). I realize now this was a very bad mistake. My OS is Win2000 Professional. Basically, when I try to boot, it just leaves me at a blue screen (where the grey login window would normally pop up but it now no longer does) with a mouse cursor, but never progresses from here.
Is there anything I can do from here, short of wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS? I really don't want to do this...
Thanks so much in advance...
