Sasser cleaned, but is it gone?
I'm one of those lucky soles that was stupid enough to get this virus. I followed the cleaning steps, and downloaded the MS update (2 days too late), and now I believe I've got it kicked. But, is there any after-effect from this virus? Does it actually do any damage while it has infected the PC or does it just slow the performance?

Thank for the reply. I've found plenty about what the virus can do while it is in your system, I just haven't seen anything that describes any possible residual effects......maybe there are none.
