Endpoint Protection

Has anyone come across Photo.exe, which keeps materialising on our Windows Server 2003 share drive, in various locations. i am not sure if it is being created by share drive clients on on the windows server itself. I have ran SEP and Malwarebytes, Malicious Software rmoval tools, to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

submit the file to Symantec Security response if you feel it is suspicious.

Hi,

Thank you, will do.

It would seem that the likely issue here is that someone with a mapped drive to this server causes it to continuously be re-infected.

Have you checked the remote connections to the server and what file(s) they have open or are accessing?

Have you disabled autorun?

Thanks Pete, We will investigate remote connections and test with Autorun disabled

Hello,

Are running the SEP 12.1 client with latest definitions and carry all the latest Microsoft updates and security patches on the machine?

Run a scan in safe mode with networking to remove the virus.

Could you zip each of the folders and submit the zip files (without password) to the Symantec Security Response Team on :

In your case, it is also advisable to follow few important steps:

1) Make sure all these machines are Patched with ALL Latest MS security patches and service packs.

2) Make sure the machines are installed with the Latest Symantec virus definitions.

3) Disable the Autorun Feature on the machine via GPO. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715

4) Disable System Restore before you do this as the virus also creates entries in the System Restore Points store volumes.
