Hello, I have had a problem that i've been trying to fix for some time now. I had/have a trojan which someone said possibly is the sassar worm. It gave me an error everytime I tried to start windows. It said
Isass.exe - System Error
An invalid paramater was passed to a service or function.
When I clicked "OK" which was the only option it gave me. It automatically rebooted my computer in an endless loop keeping me out of windows. Then I posted here and some people had said that if I run a system repair off the the windows home cd, any corrupted files would be replaced which would allow me to enter windows which then would allow me to take the neccessary steps to remove this virus.
When I went to repair it started to do install the files again ect. It got to the point where it had to reboot, then you see installing windows screen. On the right tells u misc things about windows and it tells you the remaining time on the installation. But, when that screen comes up. I get the same error.
Isass.exe - System Error
An invalid paramater was passed to a service or function.
It now can not complete the windows repair. If anyone knows what I may be able to do to remedy this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
