Are  \nyou a computer virus?”  \nAbstract  \nF8B5 06E4 A169  \nAny personal resemblance to viruses notwithstanding, Network Administrators (NetAdmins) often have their hands full dealing with these insidious threats. From oldies but baddies like Michelangelo or Friday the 13th to such newer threats as  \nNimda and Klez, NetAdmins need complete Anti-Virus (AV) toolkits.  \nThis paper shares how-to info about an easy-to-use , but often overlooked, tool.  \nThrough the use of Network Logon Scripts, NetAdmins can effectively manage  \ntheir users’ AV installations. Sample “batch file” scripts are included. They can  \ncheck for the existence of AV software on client computers, install AV software if needed and automatically push AV data file (DAT) updates to client. While doing so they can log the results to a central server for a NetAdmin to peruse. If virus infections or hoaxes should occur, Network Logo n Scripts can locate the infected  \ncomputers, notifying user and/or NetAdmin as needed.  \nThe NetAdmin’s Anti-Virus (AV) Toolkit  \nThe threat vectors for Viruses, Trojans and Worms aren’t discussed here.  \n[Thinkquest.org](Thinkquest.org)’s “Is it A Virus or What” shares a brief explanation.1 For the sake  \nof brevity, all such threats in this paper are referred to as “viruses .”  \nAs viruses work in multivariate ways, a corporate AV toolkit must also be  \nmultifaceted. Many of the same security tools and procedures that protect the  \nnetwork from hacking are also helpful in preventing virus infections .  \n∙ A firewall can stop many viruses when properly configured.2 Some firewall solutions also include integrated virus scanning.  \n∙ Keeping server and client software patches current reduces vulnerability.  \n∙ Intrusion Detection Systems can detect virus activities . Snort’s Signature File \\#795, for example, can detect * .txt. vbs virus types.3  \n∙ Blocking or disallowing peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs should be considered. See Billy Evans excellent SANS paper outlining the risks.4 [Oofle.com](Oofle.com) lists specific P2P sites and how to block them at the firewall.5  \n© SANS Institute 2000-2002 As part of GIAC practical repository.

Proxy servers can also be configured to scan content for viruses .  \n∙ Network Gateway AV scanning is useful , which can be software-based or use dedicated AV appliances.9  \n∙ A properly configured and current “Real-Time”(Memory-Resident) AV solution on every system is essential.10  \n∙ Automated management of client AV software will keep clients current. Real-Time AV is unpopular with some NetAdmins n85us4, s16it9could be likened to a 350-pound bodyguard, who inhabits your living room all day, eating up your food. Indeed, AV software can gobble system resources and negatively impact performance.
