i have a network setup where a storing all data across a NAS server drive and all nodes running WinXP Pro SP2. there are files in all the folders of the NAS drive name copied exactly into .exe files within the folder. eg: c:\program files will contain a file called 'program files.exe' with a folder icon. this has spread across the entire network. eScan did not even detect this untill I saw these files. some are hidden some are not. on the nodes only 4 files are created in the c:\windows and the system32 directory. <br />
<br />
how do i resolve this problem without formatting each PC.

Virus / spyware /trojan folders names duplicating into .exe files across network.

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.
