Problem:
|
Despite our Sophos Enterprise deployment, the Conficker virus penetrated and was introduced into our environment sometime around December or January. Helpdesk tried to battle this infestation; however, due to many systems not having Sophos installed or problems with the installation; the virus outbreak spread across the entire network. It appears the virus remains in the local subnet that it exists and therefore the servers remained unaffected.
On-Access scanning was enabled and Windows XP SP3 was installed across the network; therefore, the effects of the virus were disabled, but the spreading could occur for those machines without Sophos. The virus spreads by trying to place a file into the Windows directory via an infected machine to a remote machine on the same subnet across the network. It also attempts to create scheduled tasks forcing the new file to run at various time intervals. Having On-Access scanning enabled permits the clean machines to remain clean; but if the machine is already infected, a full scan is required.

Our first step was to gather information about the machines without Sophos, More ...
|
|
|
|
Resolution:
|
Among the actions taken, the most useful action was to force run the "Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool." We did this through the Logon Script which does the following:
| - | Copies the mrt.exe locally | | - | Runs the mrt.exe scan | | - | Checks the final log create by the mrt scan for "Threat detected:" | | | o | If found, the log is copied out to the server into a "01-VirusFound" folder - also, if the words "the system needs to be restarted." is found in the log, the user is prompted to reboot | | o | Otherwise it is either placed into "02-NoVirusFound" or "03-CouldNotRun" dependent on the success of the scan |
|
This script runs in the background without the user ever knowing and these logs help to identify the machines requiring further attention. Using these reports we could determine the machines with or without Sophos and also identify the ones infected, possibly indicating the antivirus agent would need installed on that system.
