Wouldn't bother me, but the last time I did it the HR department complained because they use Facebook for recruiting, and a lot of our vocational counselors complained. We are a non-profit that provides various services for people with physical and mental disabilities, or have difficulty gaining employment and or housing due to other disadvantages. Many clients don't have email but do all of their electronic communication through sites like Facebook (which seems to be the trend now especially among our younger clients). So Facebook is the means by which a lot of our staff keep in contact with their clients.

We had one workstation that had the fake Thinkpoint scan running, so apparently VIPRE AP didn't block it from executing on that one. On every affected machine we have seen, looking at the browser history each user was on Facebook immediately prior to VIPRE AP reacting. I continue to try to educate users about safe surfing, but I may have to block Facebook if VIPRE is unable to deal with it soon. ________________________________ From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 3:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: vipre: SVCHOST.EXE virus. Yep, that is a driveby malware we have seen accordingly, it's the thinkpoint virus.

I've seen on a few computers over the last couple of weeks where there is a file on the user's desktop called MSTSC.exe, and there are various executables scattered around in the user's profile with various names the same as or close to legitimate Windows files, including SVCHOST.EXE. I sent samples to the VIPRE folks a few times - haven't heard anything back. In my case VIPRE active protection kept blocking the execution of the files, but didn't recognize them as threats when doing a full scan. MalwareBytes found and cleaned a bunch of stuff, but the next time the computer was rebooted it was back. Trend also saw them but couldn't remove them. I've been wiping and re-imaging them. ________________________________ From: justino garcia [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 3:32 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: vipre: SVCHOST.EXE virus.

Vipre did not detect it, or clean it. Anti-virus definitions were up to date, active scanner was running as well, so I'm a bit concerned the active scanner didn't pick it up. The virus was still loading in his run command in the registry so I had to uninstall Vipre and put my own copy of McAfee on his machine to get rid of the virus.
