Norton is pretty good enough but I have installed clamav on winxp machines
It has a outlook plugin that keeps the malware 

Both of them working together is pretty good

RE: [Full-disclosure] Antivirus

2005-08-11 Thread Randal, Phil
Given the speed at which viruses can spread, daily (or more frequent)
pattern updates are a must.

As the virus attack vector is still mainly via email, you need to
rigorously scan all incoming emails at the perimeter (and block all
executables via email).  We use MailScanner (www.mailscanner.info) on a
Linux box with ClamAV (www.clamav.net), Bitdefender
(www.bitdefender.com), and McAfee's uvscan to scan all emails.  Both
ClamAV and Bitdefender update their patterns when needed and not to some
arbitrary schedule.  We check for pattern updates hourly.

The advantage of blocking at the perimeter is that when your server or
desktop antivirus starts screaming, you know that the infection has come
via user action or infected PCs being connected to your internal
network.

Cheers,

Phil

Thanks Axel ( love guns and roses by the way; im sure you haven't heard that
one before). I have been searching around the net for some user reviews on
those that you have mentioned. I am about a week into this research. It is
starting to come to a head in the past couple days as RTVSCAN.exe is causing
more and more computer slow downs. Not good when a batch is trying to be
posted in out financial system. In the end I need a reliable product that
has central management with lockout features to the user. Malware detection
is tied for #1 for the product I end up choosing. My users have at least
stopped opening any attachments they get that they don't know who they are
form and so on. As we all know the end user is the z factor in the whole
situation of choosing a good security product.

Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Antivirus

Hi Jason,

With such a small user network you should definitely have a look at the
products of other anti virus vendors - not just Symantec's. In our
company we used NAV CE (later SAV CE) several years till 2004, but I was
never happy with it. It's bloated and its malware detection capabilities
are not very good.

Just as an example, do you know runtime compressors (like UPX)? Malware
is very often packed with such compressors to make the file smaller and
the file contents less readable. Many runtime compressors exist, but
only a few av companies make sure that the format of these runtime
compressors is known to their av scan engine so that the scanner is able
to detect malicious code inside of these packed executables. The results
are funny identifications of one and the same malware (compressed,
unpacked, repackaged with another runtime compressor). Symantec's av
scanner doesn't know the format of many runtime compressors and as a
result it usually fails to detect known packed malware when it is
unpacked or repackaged with another compressor.

My favorite av scanners are those from Kaspersky (www.kaspersky.com) and
McAfee because in my experience both have simply the best malware
detection capabilities. Kaspersky's av scanner is also very easy to
update, has small definitions, - if you want - hourly updates and knows
the most runtime compressor and archive formats of all av scanners. You
should definitely have a closer look at McAfee's and Kaspersky's av
products. As I said before they are very good in malware detection, but
in regard to performance, stability and general handling of these
products it's up to you to find out whether they're suited for your
environment.

Axel Pettinger

Hey Steve,

I have read the support article on doscan.exe causing high cpu problems. I
curious to know if that would cause a problem in my environment where we
have no dos based applications. Is the doscan.exe installed by default? We
run basically 4 servers SBS 2003, Windows Server 2000, Windows Server Web
and Windows Server 2000 for GIS Applications. All of my clients are XP Pro
with full updates using SUS. Thanks for the heads up on the SAV CE 10.0 roll

Hi Jason,

This last spring I was put in the position of deploying SAV CEv10.0 for 
my company - about 150 clients/servers.  Almost immediately it started 
causing problems.  I work for a video game developer for Playstation2 
games, and (sadly) a lot of the tools for PS2 are DOS-based (they're not 
Win32 apps).

First off there's an "issue" with 10.0 where doscan.exe causes high CPU 
usage - dragging the machine to a halt.  SAV does a "quick scan" (and I 
use the term loosely) on boot.  We've put in a regkey fix to remove the 
boot scan. 

They added "tamper protection" with a lot of our tools seem to trigger.  
We've had to disable that.

And generally has been responsbile for a LOT of performance problems.  
We're using high-end x86 dual-Xeon workstations, too - so it's not like 
we're under-powered.

Needless to say I'm currently doing a hefty performance analysis of 
other anti-virus solutions so I can find something "nicer" towards our 
environment.

HTH,
Steve

One tidbit: if you use RAdmin (remote administration software), Symantec
10. corporate sees it as a threat, and there's not any really good way

Yes I meant to say my current corporate edition runs fine on my servers for
the most part, other than the yellow exclamation point in the VPtray in the

Need central administration for the program and the ability to lockout users

One tidbit: if you use RAdmin (remote administration software), Symantec 10.
corporate sees it as a threat, and there's not any really good way to
centrally deal with this. It's been a terrible mess.

RE: [Full-disclosure] Antivirus

2005-08-10 Thread Evan Waite
Actually NAV Corp (aka SAV) works fine in Application and Admin mode for
Terminal services.  We've just completed an upgrade and so far
everything is working fine.  I would however recommend you only use
10.0.1.1000 (current) or higher (the first build of 10.0 was a little
flaky)

NAV and Symantec Corporate Edition aren't the same thing, although I don't
know for a fact that Corporate runs fine on a Terminal Server.
