    ensure all the systems in the network are updated with latest AV and Microsoft patches.

    Disable autorun, sharing. Endure strong password is set.

    View the virus writeup for these threat to remove.

     

    It may be good you go through this article,

    Hello,

    About the:

    Bloodhound.Exploit.343   

    requires Microsoft Windows Shortcut 'LNK' Files Automatic File Execution Vulnerability (BID 41732). 

    Bloodhound.Olexe

    Bloodhound.Olexe is a heuristic detection for reporting Microsoft Office files that contain an embedded executable file.

    As it clearly specifies, you would need to make sure you have your MS updates installed on you machines.

    whereas, 

    Trojan.Gen 
    Trojan Horse 

    are the generic detection for many individual but varied Trojans or used by Symantec to identify malicious software programs that masquerade as benign applications or files. 

    Again, please go through the Security Best Practices of Symantec which would guide you with the same.

    Hope that helps!!

    It's Autorun time...... just follow advice given above

    you may want to limit USB disk usage, disable autorun..., limit folder sharing,.. patch OS.. & trace the original threat source..

     

    If you have AV installed in all client it would the best

    To Harden your Network use these customized policies

    Autorun.inf

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH104909

    LNK files (stuxnet and other worms)

    http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response/securityupdates/list.jsp?fid=adc

    Trojan

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH95124&locale=en_US

     

    From the Risk report see which file is infecting the most then block it

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH93451&locale=en_US

    Also make sure SEP settings are as per Security Best Practise

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH122943&locale=en_US

     

    this will definitely improve number of risks.

    However I would recommend using these policies on a Test Environment or just on a group will less clients before implementing it organization wide.
