RE: Microsoft Vulnerablities Scan

Hi Nass,

Thank you for your reply. I went onto HijackThis and ran a scan. I then
posted the log that I received on Castle Cops. No reply from there yet. I'm
really not sure what I should be looking for with these scans. My Trend
version is completely up-to-date and keeps finding the 2 issues. Those issues
don't appear when I run other scans with Spyware Doctor, etc. so I'm at a
loss.

I have Windows XP. I use Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 as my
antivirus program. When it runs a weekly scan, I get the following 2 issues
listed as VERY HIGH RISK vulnerabilities: TARGET: Office / ISSUE:
VBS.DAVINIA.A (related bullitin MSOO-O34) and W97M.GOGA.A (related bullitin
MSO1-028). I have installed all the latest available updates and continue to
receive these 2 issues as problems week after week. Does anyone know what I
can do and if I should be concerned?

Thank you,

Hi,
VBS.DAVINIA.A and W97M.GOGA.A are : Micro Viruses written in VBs
programming language, try to scan from other vendors with an online scanner
and also make sure the Trend definitions are up2date.
Scan for malware from here:
Spybot Search & Destroy

2- Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of many
forums for analysis and troubleshooting:
http://www.merijn.org/index.php
When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. Post
your log to http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,
http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7, or other appropriate
forums for expert analysis, not here.
Any error message, have a look in the event viewer and post them here.
HTH.
