    Sending it in again to ESET.. I don't know if it's a new variant or what.. It looks and behaves the exact same.. Even installs in the same folder again.. I've sent sysinspector logs in, along with the screenshot locations of where my copy of Spyware Doctor with AV finds it, and cleans it..

    C:\program files\PersonalAV\PAV.exe

    C:\windows\system32\msxmlm.dll

    I have 1,000s of people. I have a GPO I'm pushing out to most of them on our AD side that stops scripts running in non-trusted zones.. The other side stuck on netware is still out in the wild..

    That PAV file had 0

    The .dll file I sent with it had two hits.. One from Microsoft, the other from PrevX.

    Good thing I sent it in to you guys :) Must be a new one..

    Add ESET, too :) An update is being compiled and will be released shortly. It seems ESET will be the first AV to detect your pav.exe, there's still zero detection of it at VT.

    Hey Brad,

    You might be interested in a really neat little (free) tool that I discovered a while back... TrustNoEXE...

    http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/trust-no-exe/trust-no-exe.htm

    Amazingly useful and functional app that lets you install it on your PC, then push different configs out to different groups of PCs on your domain...

    Settings are stored in two registry keys with two subkeys (allow and deny) with the ACLs...

    In conjunction with NOD32, it locks down a PC incredibly well... and did I mention TrustNoEXE is free? ;)

    Glad I could get you guys a sample of it.. I view it as a partnership, and understand that nothing is 100%.

    I looked at the guys logs.. He wasn't on any questionable sites before being redirected.. May have been a victim of cross site scripting.. Plus our Netware side is lacking in some hard locked down IE Group Policies.. I have a good setup going in Active Directory to stop a lot of these attacks but disabling cross site scripting vulnerabilities, and to stop scripts from running in non trusted sites. This is NOT ESETS fault, and I am not flaming them. How are they suppose to add these attacks if nobody reports them, or lets them know about it.

    I can now confirm that NOD32 has eaten the copy of PAV running in one of my VMware environment on my home system. Any attack or thing that gets by I let ESET know because it's the only way they can improve to help their customers.

    Thats a reason why good admins are worth each penny...
    If i were you - i would let hands off that network and get a good admin...
    If that loosen policy is wanted by chief - dont mind again - not your job.

    Just had to manually remove this Trojan from a customer's WinXP system.

    It got by Eset Nod32 version 3.0.669.0 running virus signature database 4364

    Time to manually update Nod32 apparently. I'm guessing it does not automatically update the program version across major release numbers.

    This is a nasty variant... As soon as one of their builds get caught, it seems that the makers of PAV will redesign it, repackage it, and test it against all of the products by uploading it to virustotal.. I pray that Heuristics can be improved to catch the *******... I'd pay some money to get my hands on the China man making this! Trust me, it's not ESET missing it, it's all 41 vendors on Virustotal most of the time.. Please harvest those files, and submit them in a password protected zip file to

    samples@eset.sk
