greetings all;
i'm having a lot of grief with some very persistent worm
infections, many of which are not detected by our Symantec
NAV Corporate edition (with up to the minute definitions).
i keep submitting files to Symantec, and they keep sending
me back responses that, yes, my file is infected, and with
the latest definitions i'll catch this latest variant.
what a waste of time! what i really want to know is what
the infection mechanisms are here, and how i can prevent
further infection. systems are windows 2000 sp4, with all
the latest patches from MS.
the worms i've seen so far have been:
Backdoor.Sdbot
Backdoor.Ranky.G
W32.Spybot.Worm
Trojan.Baglet
this last one has no entry in the Symantec database, even
though this is the name they gave me for it. these are all
Symantec names, although they are close to useless as they
don't specify the infection mechanism for any of these.
i'm asking these questions here because Trojan.Baglet appears
to be a ClamAV designation. when i scan the file in question,
Clam detects it as Trojan.Baglet.A.
can anyone tell me more about this virus? about any of the
virii i've mentioned earlier? Symantec is useless, i'm
hoping this list may be more help :>
thanks in advance.
henry
