MD: More on the new Virus
Sorry to waste more digest space on this, but it seems important. Remember, you can be infected by this virus *without* clicking on, or even seeing, an attachment. Scroll down to the * for immediate recommendations. --Gary SYMANTEC PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION AGAINST W32.NIMDA.A@MM New Analysis of Computer Worm Indicates Additional Destructive Payload CUPERTINO, Calif. Sept. 19, 2001 Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC), a world leader in Internet security, today announced that new analysis of W32.Nimda.A@mm reveals that the worm contains an additional destructive payload that will not only require detection, but removal. The new analysis indicates that the worm is a file infector, infects .exe files resides in memory. W32.Nimda.A@mm is a mass-mailing worm that utilizes multiple methods to spread itself. The worm sends itself out by e-mail, infects machines over the network, and infects unpatched or already vulnerable Microsoft IIS Web servers. The worm also has various side effects, such as increasing network traffic while searching for machines to infect, which may cause network bandwidth problems. W32.Nimda.A@mm will also attempt to create security holes by creating a guest account with administrator privileges and create open shares on the infected system. Symantec currently provides an integrated detection and repair solution against W32.Nimda.A@mm. In one step, users can download a solution that will simultaneously detect the worm and repair damaged files. The new definitions are available through Symantec s LiveUpdate feature or from the Symantec Web site www.securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html. Symantec is developing a separate removal tool to eradicate the worm from the PC memory. "Using blended Internet security threats the combination of viruses, exploits, or vulnerabilities to attack businesses and destroy assets, continue to rise," said Vincent Weafer, senior director of Symantec Security Response. "To combat such a fast spreading threat, Symantec integrated its solution for W32.Nimda.A@mm to detect and repair, allowing for quick clean up with little downtime." Symantec Security Response recommends that IT administrators implement the following to stop the propagation of W32.Nimda.A@mm: Block e-mails containing a "readme.exe" attachment. Update virus definitions and ensure that firewalls are correctly configured. Download the latest security updates for Enterprise Security Manager and NetRecon. Install the IIS Unicode Transversal security patch. Install the malformed MIME header execution security patch. Close network share drives. ** Additionally, consumers can immediately protect themselves against the new worm by implementing the following: ** Use Symantec s LiveUpdate feature to obtain the latest virus definitions. Use the Windows Update feature located on the "Start" menu on Window 95 and higher systems to download new security patches. Disable the "File Download" feature in Internet Explorer to prevent compromise. Both consumers and enterprises can be infected through a variety of methods. E-mail One of the methods the worm uses to infect PCs though is e- mail. The e-mail arrives with an attachment readme.exe that is not always visible and contains a randomly generated subject line and no body message. The worm uses its own SMTP engine to e-mail itself out to all the addresses it collects by searching the user s incoming and outgoing e- mail boxes. Internet Explorer users v5.01 or v5.5 - (IE 5 with the Service Pak 2 or later installed or IE 6 are not affected) will receive a blank e-mail no subject line, no body and a hidden attachment. Just opening the e-mail can infect users PCs. For the latest Microsoft security patch, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/critical/q290108/default.asp Shared Drives PC users with shared drives enabled are also at risk. The worm searches for open network shares and will attempt to copy itself to these systems and then execute. IT administrators should close all network shared drives. Web sites When users visit a compromised Web site, the server will run a script attempting to download an Outlook file, which contains the W32.Nimda.A@mm worm. The worm will create an open network share on the infected machine allowing access to the system. W32.Nimda.A@mm specifically targets versions of IIS servers, taking advantage of the known Universal Web Traversal exploit (MS Security Bulletin MS00-078), which is similar to the exploit used in the Code Red attack. Compromised servers will display a Web page and attempt to download an Outlook file that contains the worm as an attachment. IT Administrators should download the Microsoft security patch for IIS 4.0 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Release.asp?ReleaseID=32061 and for IIS v5.0 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Rele

MD: new Sony CDR-W33 CD Recorder
Hello all, I've been using Sony's new pro CD recorder, the CDR-W33, for the last few weeks, and it's a pretty sweet deck. Even better news, Sony has authorized us to "give it away free" if you buy their portable DE-456 CD player from us for $544. That's a backwards way of saying, you get both items for a very good price! As a Sony Professional dealer, we have the PRO version of the CDR-W33, which ignores SCMS and records on the cheap "computer" discs. The instructions indicate otherwise, so before you consider buying this model from another dealer, be sure he has the "pro" version! In addition to the features we've come to expect from pro CD recorders (coaxial & optical in & out, analog RCA in & out, records on all CDR and CDRW discs, automatic or manual indexing from MDs or other CDs, "audio-sync" startup, memory buffer for instant start, etc), the Sony offers DSP (digital signal processing), though unfortunately, only from the analog inputs. This feature includes a 3-band parametric digital equalizer, a digital compressor/limiter, and optional Super Bit Mapping (SBM). You can really sweeten the sound of audience recordings with this equalizer! Of course, I was a bit disappointed that these features couldn't be accessed through the digital inputs, but if you're goal is to make changes to the sound anyway, it probably doesn't matter, and you certainly won't lose any sound quality with Sony's excellent 24-bit A>D circuitry. This model also includes CD-Text which is a very neat feature for assigning a name to your disc, and to each track. CDRWIN also supports this feature, and I've started writing out discs with the full setlist built right into the disc! In addition to letting you program CD-Text from a jog dial or the remote control, the CDR-W33 allows you to connect a standard PC computer keyboard and type in all your CD-Text information! You can also control the machine's standard functions from the computer keyboard. This unit is a dark grey color and carries the tradition of Sony's excellent design: removable 19" rack mounts, large display and clear buttons, large remote control (wireless or wired operation), 2-minute finalize, jog dial for menu operations, etc. Please email for more information: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you, --Gary P.s. you also get a free car playback kit with your free CD recorder, so you can play your newly minted CDs in your car! - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
