Re: Virus Evades Panda & Kapersky

So this server already has Panda installed, so I ran a scan. Found 0 infected files. So next I tried online scans -- Housecall wouldn't run for some reason, but I got the Kapersky online scan to run. Interestingly enough, Kapersky found 4 infected files that Panda never caught; however, after even removing those, I still have tons of update.exe processes running.
You can kill the processes, but they immediately crank right back up.
So next I ran Spybot, and it found a handful of problems as well, but still failed to do anything about update.exe. Meanwhile, all these processes continue to eat away at ther server's memory.[/B]
Going back to the orginal post, it really isnt that unusual for one AV snaner to miss an infection, while another picks right up on it. I have had McAfee has blown right past a number of invections, and Norton's AV has caught them. Or both have missed them and Housecall has gotten them. McAfee did surprize me in completely missing a older, well known infection.
Case and point for tighing up access to that server and locking it down a bit.
