W32.SpyBot.Worm

I have submitted several files that a *new* variant of the W32.SpyBot.Worm file generates to samples@nod32.com, and sample@nod32.com. I have not heard a response, yet the virus continues to crush our corporate network. Symantec, and NOD32 stand by and do nothing to stop it.

What do I have to do for attention on this matter? It's hard to convince my Director to switch to NOD32 entirely if your product fails to protect.

The worm spreads fast, and generates the following files:
C:\exec.exe
C:\Windows\sys32.exe
C:\Windows\sys33.exe
C:\Windows\iexplorer.exe

It's identified only in part by NOD32 as a rootkit worm. NOD32, and Symantec both can't stop the worm, or clean it.

 

Hello !

It is an Eset policy and you won't hear from the Virus Lab at all . They just receive the samples but do not answer people. In such an emergency , please , submit the files to Eset Technical Support , email support[at]eset[dot]com

Attach the suspected files and as much information as you may think of . Depending on the situation they will provide you with solution appropriate to kill the parasite

 

Please email support[at]eset.com and enclose the subject and time/date you sent that email on.

 

They wrote back and had my test the files against virustotal.com. Several virus scanners picked the files up, NOD32 was not one of them. After a few hours of the phone with Symantec, it's now one of the several that detects the new variant.

I sent the SHA1/MD5 information to ESET. I haven't heard anything back.

Yes... you're not in their priorities, or maybe they thought you're a VX collector.

 

It may be a good idea to send samples from a new/different email address, in my experience after I'd emailed a few samples over the course of several weeks; very few samples I submit are added, it's possible submitting multiple samples using the same email puts your email on their "VX collector list" meaning your submissions will have lowest priority.

Don't stir up a hornet's nest, Codpet is not a virus collector; he has asked us to assist him in removing an infiltration from his network and all the functional samples he has submitted are actually detected:

Since the problem has been resolved, I'll draw this case to a close.
