warning not detected by NOD32 !!!

tnx

btw i recieved the Edonkey link for the new b version of the virus
im trying to download it now
and i also issued warning to those who have the file and in other places
if i get the file and its infected with the b version ill send it to NOD32 right away

 

i downloaded the file in question and i can confirm its the b version of the virus also known as win32.hllp.riaz

sending it to NOD32 lab now

 

Still no protection against Win32.HLLP.Riaz (W32.Axon) I don't feel safe with NOD32 until both the A and B version of this virus is detected by NOD.

 

Included in today's first NOD update is Win32/Xenon.A, Win32/Xenon.B
See: http://www.nod32.com/support/info.htm#CurVersion

I believe that's aka: Win32.HLLP.Xenon [Kaspersky], yes? See Symantec's write up posted which also was linked to at the beginning of this thread for the McAfee, KAV and NAV names: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.axon.html

 

Ok, Thanks... I hope it's the same virus.

 

btw

how to enable advanced heuristic
when someone says its not the same as setting heuristic scan on deep
im confused about that ??

 

Advanced heuristics are available by default in IMON. And in the on demand scanner only by using the command line to run a scan using AH. (Last I looked in the Help File this was still an undocumented feature.) An add-on to scan a file on demand with AH via the explorer context menu is discussed in this thread at the top of this forum: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=9776

AMON does not have the advanced heuristic option.

 

tnx

ill look at that

 

thecrow can you give the specific file infected with this virus. or kindly send it to virus@boxmail.biz and pidjong82@yahoo.com. theres somebody wants to test his AV for newer viruses and i think this one is good for testing. a little risky though, but still he wants those maximum risk virus to be tested. thanks!

 

So, am I protected or aren't I

Shouldn't this 'undocumented' command be posted in a sticky, along with any others we don't know about?

 

It's.
Look at: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=9776

 

Paolo's shell extension has been available since a few days after NOD32 version 2 became officially available. It has been a sticky all this time but not locked and you will see new replies every now and then. Some of us don't use IMON and would be reluctant to use NOD32 if it were not for this shell extension. I've been using it since the day Paolo posted it. It's always a good idea to check out stickies when you are new to a forum.

 

I have that running, TA!.

Being a new user I wasn't clear from the posts exactly what it did - because it just installs and runs.

So, I am protected

I think that I know where I stand with regard to the protection. I just have to work out if IMON is running OK (Outlook 2002 sometimes seems to stall on a send/receive), and then get to grips with some of the finer points.

I'll get there!

 

The only time I´ve got infected throught P2P (eMule) was by the W32/backterra.worm. It deletes all my temp files and those still-to-download ones. To solve your problem and others afected by this virus, is to do a Low Level Format, using an util in the way that IBM Drive Fitness Test or Seagate Seatools. I supose there must be another generic tools to do it.

If a potential 'new recruit' to NOD was to start reading this thread he would probably never consider NOD again. I didn't notice the date until I'd read a couple of posts; I always notice 'today' in the thread index and (sub-conciously) assume the topic is reasonably recent.

Is there any way obviously out-of-date topics can be flagged?
