Need Help Getting Rid of Virus


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, we have a large site license forMcafee Enterprise AVsoftware. One of

our installations is a special use P2P network without Internet access that

is made up of eight different PCs , Server 2003, several XP Pro and Win200

Pro Mcafee 7.81 Enterprise is installed on all the PCs. Lately, I'm

unable to upgrade the DAT files on this network also when I try to enable

the virus console it'll fall back to disabled. =

The other day two different PCs displayed the same alert message - remove

infected floppy disk from drive (there is no floppy disk in drive a;)

 

How can I get rid of the Trojan or whatever that's infected this network?

I cannot remove the PCs from the network. Last week I had a copy of Norton

Antivirus but can't find it.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mike

Only download software you can validate as uncompromised - in the case

of non-vendor site you have no guarantee that the files are unmodified

or uncompromised. Anyone providing a link to a non-vendors site with a

direct download should not be trusted, the vendors sites are the safest

place to download their application.

 

No person of sound mind would download files from a hack site that

requires a password to access the unknown files when they are available

directly from the vendors.

 

Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites.

 

The following links will take you to vendors sites for Spy Ware / Ad

ware removal tools and also for Antivirus tools. After you install any

of these applications and update them, run them in SAFE MODE to allow

them to properly clean your system.

 

First, make sure that your Java is updated to the latest version:

http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

 

These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in

order that I would use them myself:

 

Dave Lipman's tools:

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --

http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Fight exposing kids to porn, complain about sites like PCBUTTS1.COM that

create filth and put it on the web for any kid to see: Just take a look

at some of the FILTH he's created and put on his website:

http://forums.speedguide.net/archive/index.php/t-223485.html all exposed

to children (the link I've include does not directly display his filth).

You can find the same information by googling for 'PCBUTTS1' and

'exposed to kids'.

I think that your licence includes support. Have you contacted them?

This part:

"The other day two different PCs displayed the same alert message - remove

infected floppy disk from drive (there is no floppy disk in drive a;)"

 

On the two PC's concerned, exactly what application displayed the message?

And what was the exact wording of the error message including any code?

 

 

McAfee reported an issue today with an update that may cause problems or

false reports:
