Topic: block web based trojan downloads?

[Patrick]

Hi everyone,

What is the recommended way to block Trojan apps from being downloaded via web browsers?  I assume squidguard or Dans Guardian?

See below RAV scan results which shows an executable file with a Trojan in squid cache:

/var/spool/squid/00/55/000055F3->(part0000:)->235003.exe        Infected: TrojanDownloader:Win32/Small.J  

Below are the details from the nightly RAV server scan.

Do you have RAV AntiVirus running on your desktop computers?  Do you have the RAV for Internet Browsers feature enabled?

BTW Patrick, RAV 8.3.0 was obsoleted October 1, 2002. Current official release is RAV 8.4.0.  Current 'unofficial' release is RAV 8.4.1RC.

Everyone should upgrade to RAV 8.4.x asap!
