No solution for virus problems
No solution for virus problems
(OP)
We had the W32.Nimda virus last week and it took us 5 days clean it. We have 300 computers 1 NT Server 5 Novell servers. On one of the Novell Server we have 8 drives and all the drives were infected. We only cleaned it but we cannot stop it from coming back. One reason is Novell does have patches or what ever they need to protect the drives. I think the virus first started from machine that had outlook. As soon as I heard about the virus I put the patches on the NT 4.0 server Microsoft provided. After this the NT server was not effected at all. I am a Visual Basic programmer and I am planning to install VB.NET, but I can’t because I can’t install IIS on my server. I tried to install IIS several times but my boss always told me virus’s come from either IIS or from Outlook. Does anybody have suggestions to fix this problem?

2. Do you have the latest UPdates?
3. Did you go to Symantec and get the Removal Tool.
4. IF you have virus protection did you run a full scan. (Disconnect from the network while doing so)
RE: No solution for virus problems
2. Yes, McAfee 4.5.1 with 4.0.162
3. No. We had Norton before and we had problems so we changed to McCafee
4. Yes disconnected the network and ran virus scan atleast 4 times on every network drive and atleast twice on every P.C.
Every thing is clean now, but how do we stop virus's?

Therefore I would recommend you to clean all external Memories on the network. May be a router, intelligent mailserver ......
