I'm dealing with trying to get rid of what appears to be some traces of the
Mytob worm. Originally, it was downloaded into Outlook, then spotted and
removed by the antivirus solution. I can't find any of the files or registry

Hi Matt,

That's a good part of what I was wondering and what I asked earlier.

Thank you all for your responses, all of them were very educative.

I will try the solution that involves smbfs and ClamAV and possibly a
better solution will be a commercial product like the NOD32

By the way if somebody is following this thread, I am posting here the

Hi Ivan,

There simply is no OSS AV product capable of doing what you are wanting to achieve. Besides, running scheduled scans is far, far from an effective way to stop viruses and other malware - you are orders of magnitude better off by running an on-access scanner that scans in realtime to stop

Hi,

Blindly saying "move to Linux, its more secure" is simply not a sensible answer for a number of really obvious reasons. Stating two of those, first if he has LOB applications that need Windows Server then you will be stopping his business from working, and second if he is clueless about Wind
