    Posted Nov 21, 2012 07:48 PM

    Help!!!! We have been compromised at our facility by the above malware/virus.  It has proven to be a real headache because it infects dlls, exe apps, system files, etc.  We are currently running Symantec 11D if I am not mistaken.  Does anyone have a proven removal process????

     

    Currently we are running tdsskiller, and xpajkiller after disabling system restore.

    clients are windows xp/server 2003
