Hi all Our client workstations all have Mcafee antivirus installed, but a virus infected on particular pc and has been sending out spam by making outbound connections on port 25. Mcafee viruscan 8.7 blocks programs from making outbound connections on port 25 by default so how did the virus get past ? I verified that the mcafee was working since I could not telnet to any mail server on the internet via port 25. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: InfoSec Institute Learn all of the latest penetration testing techniques in InfoSec Institute's Ethical Hacking class.
