    I just found that with my Risk Log report, when I sort it out I just notice why there are machines that uses the same IP and the virus name that infect the machines are all the same. Does it occur due to the Virus? Thanks in advance.

    I doubt whether the IPs in the screenshot are "Source Computer IP" (of infection) or the "IP Address" of the machine where the infection was detected. If the E, F & G drives are mapped network driver, it is possible that the IP addresses mentioned in the screenshot are the IP addresses of the network drives.

    That IP may be the attacking IP and where the initial infection attempt is starting from. Have you tracked down that machine and removed from the network?
