Hi people,

I have connected to the internet using a brand new
computer, using BT Yahoo ISP. After approximately 2
minutes I get the following message pop up: -

"C:\windows\system32\iass.exe terminated status
unexpectedly with code - 1073741819"

It then gives me 30 seconds to exit all programmes and the
computer shuts down.

Any ideas please?

Another idiot who doesn't know how to

a) Search

and

b) Install and configure a firewall (even enabling the ICF would be
sufficient).

You have been infected with Sasser - suggest you Google for removal
instructions - they've been posted here often enough. And learn the correct
way to connect to the internet - install, configure and turn on a firewall
/first/ - *before* you connect! That way, you won't become infected and you
won't have to read posts like this one!
