Need Help Getting Rid of Virus
Posted by Mike on August 2nd, 2007


Hi, we have a large site license forMcafee Enterprise AVsoftware. One of
our installations is a special use P2P network without Internet access that
is made up of eight different PCs , Server 2003, several XP Pro and Win200
Pro Mcafee 7.81 Enterprise is installed on all the PCs. Lately, I'm
unable to upgrade the DAT files on this network also when I try to enable
the virus console it'll fall back to disabled. =
The other day two different PCs displayed the same alert message - remove
infected floppy disk from drive (there is no floppy disk in drive a

How can I get rid of the Trojan or whatever that's infected this network?
I cannot remove the PCs from the network. Last week I had a copy of Norton
Antivirus but can't find it.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Only download software you can validate as uncompromised - in the case
of non-vendor site you have no guarantee that the files are unmodified
or uncompromised. Anyone providing a link to a non-vendors site with a
direct download should not be trusted, the vendors sites are the safest
place to download their application.

No person of sound mind would download files from a hack site that
requires a password to access the unknown files when they are available
directly from the vendors.

Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites.

The following links will take you to vendors sites for Spy Ware / Ad
ware removal tools and also for Antivirus tools. After you install any
of these applications and update them, run them in SAFE MODE to allow
them to properly clean your system.

First, make sure that your Java is updated to the latest version:
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in
order that I would use them myself:

Dave Lipman's tools:
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --

Did it not give any additional info? Such as, what virus it has detected?

A blessing in disguise. Download Avast and run it. Better yet, download
Kaspersky and run it. I'd take the machines off of the network (yes, I
saw where you said you can't, don't be silly) while disinfecting.
Otherwise they'll just get reinfected.

Avast:

Kaspersky:

No, the virsus software will not run nor will the DAT files update.

I d/l a trial copy of Kaspersky v7.x trial but don't see where I can d/l
DAT updates for v7x I do see where to d/l DAT files for v5 & v6.

He did but did not follow the advice given which is why I did not answer
him.

You know, I was going to say maybe pcbutts will see this post in this NG and
maybe you could help him.

But since anyone that mentions you seems get hammered for no reason, I
thought better of it. Maybe, the next time, I'll just ignore the potential
harassment.

This part:
"The other day two different PCs displayed the same alert message - remove
infected floppy disk from drive (there is no floppy disk in drive a"

On the two PC's concerned, exactly what application displayed the message?
And what was the exact wording of the error message including any code?


McAfee reported an issue today with an update that may cause problems or
false reports:

Allow the site to fully load, then an overlaid "Announcement" will appear,
click the "More" button.

Anyways, Leythos is a proud sponsor of censoring the internet, something
I am strongly opposed to. He has no more right to tell me what I can
read and see on the net than any other tight-rectum little
bible-thumper. One of the many mixed blessings of the information age is
that we are now empowered to a larger extent than ever before to decide
what we are exposed to. And by extension, what our kids are exposed to
as well.

Maybe not exactly like the seahorse, but I sure carried and nurtured my
daughter a lot. She's a great kid and I'm proud of her. And I wouldn't
want Leythos helping to decide what she's exposed to.
