If you where to use attachment blocking/filtering in some AV products/3rd party soft.. and follow the FAQ with reference to Martin's List of Danger..... likely you would have a highly increase percentage of not being infected by such things...at least as in as far as it being mailed to your users....and them saying "Oh look..this looks cool.....let open it and see what it does...."
2 cents bill P.S. dispite the growning(mine and what Ive read) about NAI GS... I use 4.5sp1HF7 with it working (finally) I fined it does a good job of blocking such things...thus it effectively removes potential user OOpppp's and such. Even better is to also have some type of "prefilter-smtp...thingymabob" (yes thats an engineering term...very scientific and all) which would strip/remove/do away with...these things before they get to your Exch. box. -----Original Message----- From: Muqeem Syed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 9:37 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: SPYWARE called WINWHATWHERE is not detected by ANTI-VIRUS Dear All, Has anyone come across a spyware called winwhatwhere.... it was mailed to a user here and he opened it... It was programmed to capture the keystrokes for all passwords... and e-mailed as an attachment... Is there any reputable anti-virus that can actually detect such malicious spywares ... we have norton for exchange, and desktops and file and prin servers... it failed to detect it... furthermore when contacted we were informed that since it is a spyware... norton is designed to ignore such programmed.. like SPYWARE.. since it doesnt want the unsuspecting users to panic unneccessarily.... I did read about a software called bodetect that claims to stop this kind of programme.... and infact zonealarm informs the user ... anytime that this winwhatwhere attemtps to connect to the hotmail server on port 25 to stealthly send the email attachment and inform that a programmed was attempting to make an outgoing connection on port 25... .. but other than this personal firewall... are you folks aware of any software that can actually detect all spywares....???? In case any one of you is interested.. just go to www.winwhatwhere.com regards _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
