Woah don't do that. You want your AD DNS so that clients point to your domain controllers/AD DNS servers and your DNS servers either use Sunbelt as forwarders, or root hints. Alex, ignoring the IP addresses are those boxes on anycast or something? -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: 15 September 2010 18:49 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: #*&$&% "Security Tools" Malware Cool... Can I add that as an alternative to my ISP's DNS in my Active Directory, or should I just push that out through DHCP?

Feel free to and the ClearCloud DNS server as a replacement to your existing DNS: http://clearclouddns.com/ It's still beta, but I think you'll find it works quite well. And it's free.

From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us] Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 12:20 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: #*&$&% "Security Tools" Malware The "Security Tools" malware is about to drive me insane. My users keep managing to infect themselves with it, and we're having trouble stopping it. They don't run with admin rights, so there's no real damage done to their systems and we can clean it up in about two minutes. But the time adds up, and I'm tired of my technicians having to waste time on it. Our antimalware software is Microsoft's Forefront Client Security, and it's having a tough time catching this. Every time I get infected, I send the EXE to Microsoft and they update their definitions-but the EXE's used by the malware apparently change rapidly, and seem to constantly be a step ahead of FCS's definitions. I can think of a couple of options that I know would stop it, like blocking all EXE's at our web filter or using group policy to limit the running of EXE's-but this would also prevent users from doing things like installing safe plug-ins from websites, so it's not a first resort.
