Here the site to get rid of Dameware. http://www.connect.more.net/lists/technic/2004.02/0282.html -----Original Message----- From: Tim Potter [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2004 2:41 PM To: Mccormack, Andrew Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] windows services? hacking I'm glad someone is asking this of the whole group; we've found pretty much every one of our Windows servers here w/ Dameware on it in the past month or so and it's very, very tough to get rid of. I put in a trouble ticket to the Security team asking for help and have yet to get a response. Pls. share any solution you get w/ the group if you would. A buddy of mine who works for AIS said that they've had clients all around campus getting hit by that Dameware hack. Since it's a legit program I guess Symantec and other AV software don't view it as a trojan/ worm.
