Problem:
|
Despite our Sophos Enterprise deployment, the Conficker virus penetrated and was introduced into our environment sometime around December or January. Helpdesk tried to battle this infestation; however, due to many systems not having Sophos installed or problems with the installation; the virus outbreak spread across the entire network. It appears the virus remains in the local subnet that it exists and therefore the servers remained unaffected.
On-Access scanning was enabled and Windows XP SP3 was installed across the network; therefore, the effects of the virus were disabled, but the spreading could occur for those machines without Sophos. The virus spreads by trying to place a file into the Windows directory via an infected machine to a remote machine on the same subnet across the network. It also attempts to create scheduled tasks forcing the new file to run at various time intervals. Having On-Access scanning enabled permits the clean machines to remain clean; but if the machine is already infected, a full scan is required.

Our first step was to gather information about the machines without Sophos, I developed the script which was run at computer startup on each workstation through group policies to diagnosis and record the machines without Sophos installed. These log files allowed us to identify which machines needed direct attention. Also, in the Sophos Enterprise manager, we could review the systems requiring attention. Mostly these were machines with Sophos installed and were reporting that networked machines were attempted to write an infected file to the local hard disk. These machines remain unaffected because of the On-Access scanning protecting the machine from reading & writing of infected files. Also, all settings of Sophos Enterprise console were reviewed and among adjustments made, scanning of removable drives was enabled.
The next step was to deploy a new group policy, for workstations only, to disable access to Scheduled Tasks & disable auto play (KB962007)
Code to Check for Sophos [sophos.bat (1 or 2) (Text to Display)]:

Resolution:
|
Among the actions taken, the most useful action was to force run the "Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool." We did this through the Logon Script which does the following:
| - | Copies the mrt.exe locally | | - | Runs the mrt.exe scan | | - | Checks the final log create by the mrt scan for "Threat detected:" | | | o | If found, the log is copied out to the server into a "01-VirusFound" folder - also, if the words "the system needs to be restarted." is found in the log, the user is prompted to reboot | | o | Otherwise it is either placed into "02-NoVirusFound" or "03-CouldNotRun" dependent on the success of the scan |
|
This script runs in the background without the user ever knowing and these logs help to identify the machines requiring further attention. Using these reports we could determine the machines with or without Sophos and also identify the ones infected, possibly indicating the antivirus agent would need installed on that system.
