Hi to all!
I’m at office now and one my colleague have problems with her PC: the AV software here is Sophos (bleah! :P) and it found this virus only after I restarted this infected PC in Security Mode. The “definition name” is by Sophos: “Dial/Dialcar-D”.
Symptoms: yesterday no problems; today morning, pc started with mouse inactive. I rebooted with alt+canc+del using keyboard commands and scan with sophos. The AV reveals 2 malwares but only 1 is named: the other one is unknown. I think it’s strange… ???
Tech,
thanks for your help.
We don’t have Avast! here, ‘cause I’m at work and is impossible for me install software because i have not Administrator access to our machines. :’(
Good Idea, Tech…
now I try from my pc… thanks! (I searched with Google and Ixquick but I found only a link in German language concerning something about this Dial/DialCar-D… this language for me is like Arab, unfortunately!!!)
The most strange thing in my opinion is:“How is possible that an AV like Sophos (company version!) can detect a virus without say what is it and which name it have?!?”… Sophos… :P… I say to my Director: “Use Avast! not other garbage-products”… but Avast! is almost invisible between Companies AV in Italy. Here the Company Products leaders are Symantec, Trend-Micro (honestly, is good), F-Secure and Sophos.
Other strange thing is that also with Copernic Pro and other MetaSearch engines, I found ONLY 1 link about this Dial/Dialcar-D.
