MessageThat's what I did with my Conficker hit earlier this year. Also, in spite of the fact it looked as though everyone was infected and popping up virus alerts we really only had one infected laptop. McAfee (not my choice to run) was popping up alerts on every PC every time the one infected PC tried to use a bad password. I was able to determine alot from checking 1) bad password attempts 2) McAfee logs. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mayo, Bill To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 8:41 AM Subject: RE: Conficker Help!
Look for multiple bad password attempts coming from the same source. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Kelsey, John [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 8:34 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Conficker Help! Looks like we're getting hit the Conficker this morning. Sophos is reporting several hundred 'conficker detected/cleaned' messages, so at least its catching it...BUT....how do I determine the source of the infection? Something I can look for with wireshark or something? Apparently there are some unprotected machines on the network. Any suggestions are welcome! ******************************* John C.
