Virus definitions · DIGIT-ARC

C

i have installed Norton Anti virus.i have recently updated the virus definitions.
And all I want to know is.. where are these definitions saved.?
And guess what.. i got some problem with lsass.exe i had to shutdown in a minute after logging on to the internet...

Any solution guys????

Download Sasser Removal Tool here.

Download the Security patch for Windows here.

To stop the Shutdown, do this:-
1] Go to Start> Run
2] Type CMD and press ENTER
3] Type SHUTDOWN -A and press ENTER.

it did not help. the removing tool did not detect any "sasser worm "

dude,
what does norton tell u abt the virus?
is it sasser or something else?
if sasser removal tool didn't help, that perhaps u might want to try Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.
U'll find it on

*www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en

Try it.
Also, whenever u'r system is abt to shutdown, write

shutdown -a

on u'r "Run" dialog box in startup.

Download McAfee Stinger and scan ALL the partitions. Did you installed the Microsoft Security patch?

Its not nescessarily the sassar worm. The The file associated with sassar has three "S", i.e. Isasss.exe.
Its a windows process. Find the info here.

You may find some support here.

it is " lsass.exe " that is making trouble and not Isasss.exe ..

Read the post properly. I said you are probably not affected with the sassar worm cause you are having problem with Isass.exe and not Isasss.exe. The 1st one is supposed to be a windows process. Check the links I gave.

dude what i meant was i have problem with lsass.exe,,i did understand that " lsasss.exe " is the thing with worm.

so any solution??

I

God! Why don't you atleast check the links I gave! I said, as suggested by swatkat, you might not have sassar as you dont have Isasss.exe. Dude, just click on the links I gave and check them out!

defs r saved in prog files/common files/symantec shared/virusdefs.
Copy the whole thing.u can also delete old defs folder which is not deleted by default

Consider i have a backup of this virusdefs folder and by mistake if Norton antivirus gets uninstalled,,then i reinstall it and copy the definitions that I made a copy of ,to \Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs ,,would the definitions remain the same ( i mean would the definitions be the new ones (the copied ones) ?) or do i have to update again ??

N

Same and no update required.

sidewinder is right

why dont you go to norton help center online nd then check to solve your problem

go 2 McAfee's cafe, search 4 win32.sdbot!fp & apply the critical MS patches...
this bug cannot b "removed" - so 4get it - yor Isass needs 2b patced 2b fixed :!:

u r not using XPsp2 and most probably not a legit xp and the PID on yor XP CD (if not using 2k) is.... nah I shud stop here :lol:

U n00bz, can't do a thing properly :wink:

C

Wise up and stop doing so :!:

May I just let you guys know that Stinger isn't a complete av solution.
Thats all ..... perhaps sp's wud have fixed it.

Ur computer is infected with Sasser.E Virus download Microsoft Malicious Removal Tool it will help you. When the box came, increase the time of ur clock by doing this virus countdown time will be increased.

K

i think the solution for the promblem is

go to: control panel and administrative tools and open services
ther u will find many services click on the "remote procedure call"
and on the "recovery" tab and replace all the three options (first,second,subsequent failure) from "restart the computer " to "restart the service"

Hope this works.

How to download only updates
instead of downloading full virus definition

download a virus removal tool from Symantec Website or any other AV website.

A

How to download only small updates ,instead of downloading full virus definition

i mean it is more than 7 MB

so everytime new definations are there i have to download all 7 MB defination
I am talking about Norton Antivirus definations

thanks

i use only Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2006. it has loads of features. norton slows down my pc. Kaspersky has many features like Web-AntiVirus, Anti-Hacker, Proactive Defence or you can try Kaspersky Anti-virus Personal Pro 5.0.2.

again an anti virus battel.... lol.... guys what ever AVS u use.. ur system is bound to get afected.. why... because i personaly feel... the companys who make AVS, they needs to sell that product...

if there is no virus atall why users would buy an AVS..

i think thats why companys makes new virus by them self... & make their pruduct secure before lounching the virus... other AVS wouldnt going to have that protecttion... in this way the AVS will benifit by advertising that, their product was capable enough to stand that attack....

and all ways make an enverment where we feel u r not safe & we feel we need a deferent AVS.....

lol....

as this is my personal thinking... i would like 2 know what others think....

lol....
