Re: Virus



I am pretty certain there is another variant in the wings..
We use Norton AV, and with the latest definition files, we show clean,
however, a root.exe file appeared in the \Program Files\Common
Files\Shared\msadc folder of my (patched) IIS Server. (another sign of
infection)

more to the point, my server is mkaing a lot of DNS requests that don't
seem
to be relaed to anything I am doing...

I suspect newer defs over the next few days will show something up... :(

Ian.
