Continuation to Nand , Malware Analysis is an important area to explore so
as to understand origin of malware and its impact on business and also to
take preventive action.

Once infection has been identified, analysis of file can be done through:

2. http://virusscan.jotti.org/en

Hi Eric,
Same issue i observed in my organization's network.
Just simply do one work around - steps:-1] find out Autorun.inf file
on removable drive. It has hidden, readonly, System and archive
attributes.
2] once you find this inf file delete it (shift+Del). if not deleted
in normal mode delete it by restarting system in safe mode.
3] once deleted autorun.inf file, immediately create new folder and
rename it Autorun.inf
Note the name should be same as Autorun.inf

Check results and revert me.

Bye

Hello list,


Yesterday we had a virus infection on the PC of one of our technical
support
guys here at my company. Normally it's not really my problem but I'm
somewhat of the go-to guy for security here so they called me up.

We have antivirus software installed on all hosts (Symantec Endpoint
Protection) and updated a couple of times every day but when he attached
an
(infected) external HDD to his PC the virus/worm got in anyway.
I know that no antivirus software is 100% virusproof so my question for
you
guys is :

What would be the best procedure to follow in case you get infected
anyway?




Best regards,

Eric Buggenhout
