Virus removal help needed...

They're all rubbish. :D:p Symantec has the nickname The Yellow Peril among certain security companies apparantly! :eek:

Try a real AV, such as Kaspersky or NOD32. Malwarebyte's Antimalware is another good free program to try.

Well I've always been quite impressed with Symantec actually, just wish they would hurry up and sort this out so the other computers will be virus free because I don't fancy going round and deleting it all manually :p

As for the others, I'm not sure if they would get it...if you google 'bar32.exe' there are a couple of threads that come up including this one and both are very late April/early May.

If you have so much faith in NOD32 and Kaspersky I'm sure I could send you the virus to try it out? :D
 

Just to update, Kasperspy does recognise it, apparently it was realeased on 17th which explains why so little was on the web :p

Look here if your interested: http://www.securelist.com/en/descriptions/7554742/Net-Worm.Win32.Kolab.hsa

This place scans with tons of scanners

This link did not work for me :(


Annoyingly, even after my boss sent the bar32.exe to Symantec on Friday, there still have been no updates to fix it.
 
Works now, here are results:

Says filename is MsMxEng.exe when I actually uploaded bar32.exe, so I was right about them being linked :p

I then found a similar website which had symantec and here are results.

Too long to screenshot so looks more complicated, basically the ones with the dash after don't know what it is.

That is suggesting Symantec does know, but it still isn't picking it up here despite being the latest version. :confused:
 
Sorry cant provide you with any help on the virus but maybe in future you could have USB/optical drives disabled to stop people bringing any old crap into your network. We do this, if someone needs something off a memory stick or something putting onto a work memory stick we will test it first on a network seperate to our main one

There would be outcry, madness and chaos if I did this, not an option I'm afraid.

I have never worked anywhere where people are allowed to connect personal memory sticks to the network. We did allow Ipods at one of my old workplaces but not this one.

As a network admin of 500 machines (presumably 500 people) I would look at beefing up security if people are allowed to connect anything they like to your network. What if this virus is sat happlily collecting company data or destroying it?

What things do people need off personal storage anyway?
 
First off, I work in a school so its 1000+ people (teachers+students) and so USB pens are regularly carried around with coursework etc on. The computers the kids can access is an RM CC3 network and is already fairly strict on things like this and anyway Symantec has never let anything through in the time I have been here so I'm sure I can let it off once.
 
In which case, may I suggest something like a program that rebuilds the machines back to a certain state every night (forgot the names, but theres a few) This way if one gets a virus it doesnt matter because they are scrubbed and go back to being shiny OSs with all the programs you need

When I was at college Norton Ghost was used to do this. It didnt stop people unscrewing the PCs and removing memory though (Doncaster for ya)

Well its too late now, we are happy with the system, we just need symantec to get their act together and we will be sorted :)
