[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 876150, member: 7463"] A Word of Warning concerning this video- please note that at 7:53 the author essentially blows off the warning box. This should have been taken more seriously as this was an indication of what most assuredly was the persistence mechanism of a worm; although the worm itself was apparently deleted (by a definition) the persistence mechanism was not stopped. The issue here would be that if that worm was recoded a bit to make it a zero day (easy, easy), the full infection would have been apparent. Additionally, running second opinion scans with HMP and NBE proves nothing about the health of the system as both are totally oblivious to many Scriptor infections (including worms). KVRT really is the best for checking for persistent infections and really should have been used to verify what actually occurred. [/QUOTE]
