Help! Unknown CIFS protocol

Hi,

I just notice the massive CIFS protocol traffic. No clue what is it. Anybody knows about it?

 

From your screenshot I see the CIFS packets are sent out with little time interval. Maybe a virus on that machine?

 

CIFS ( Common Internet File System )

I think it's nothing to do with CIFS, just a worm using 445 port?

 

Hi,
you must consider CIF protocol involve alot of ports, for example if you use ACRONIS for backuping your clients , in capsa the port used for Acronis named CIF.

Another example is when your clients get commands and task from AntiVirus administration KITS for example Kaspersky Administration Kit , Capsa show it as CIF protocol.

So dont be afraid and check all of them.
