virus outbreak on windowsXP
« on: January 06, 2009, 06:39:29 PM »
we have huge problems with viruses at the place I work.
there was some critical patch that nobody installed..
Few other computers on corporate LAN claim to receive ping from mine. Would that be a sign of infection? or does windows send pings 'by itself'?

BTW, the virus name is W32.Downadup.B

but what I meant, firewalls report ping/ICMP packets originating from my computer, even when I haven't sent them!

(my firewall says that 'kernel' is trying to ping)
