  • 1.  Adware.mywebsearch virus not deleting by Symantec

    Posted Nov 02, 2011 08:40 AM

    Hi Friends,

     

    We are using SEP 11.0.6  . We suspeted some files in client machines and uploaded to virus total site. Most of the sites are detecting as virus but symantec is not detecting .

    Here I attched screenshot of Virustotal site.

    Virus names:

    •  w32/Mywebsearch
    • adware/Funweb.ar
    • win32/Mywebsearch
    • webtoolbar/win32.mywebsearch.gen
    • w32/suspicious_gen2.QRBWT

     

    What is best solution?

    Any Microsoft Security patches are required?

    What are the changes required in SEPM?

     

    Thanks in Advance.

     

    Regards

    Santhosh

    Hello,

    If you believe you have discovered a new, undetected variant, please do submit the suspicious files to Security Response Check this:

     

    Title: 'How to Use the Web Submission Process'

    Document ID: TECH102419

    as described above and contact Technical Support.

     

    Until new definitions are available, the steps in the following article will help:

    Best practices for troubleshooting viruses on a network

    Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH122466

    We also offer a self-service site to analyze files, at http://www.threatexpert.com, which can give you more information on the files you submit to it. This could provide enough information to allow you to create firewall rules preventing the threat from downloading additional threats or contacting a third party. 

    Hope that helps!!

    Hello,

    It could be a new variant. 

    Could you please work on this Article for Web Submission Process. Document IDTECH102419

    OR

    Run a SEP Support Tool and submit the suspicious files to the Symantec Security Response Team.

    Hi Mithun,

     

    Finally my problem is resolved. Almost i sent 5 samples to symantec and i got signatures. And after running full scan , the virus is deleting.
