Migrating a small network from Sophos 3.92, using hourly EM Library for updates, over to Kaspersky 5.0.177 revealed that eight out of the ten workstations were infected with a variety of virus which were discovered when the KAV scanner was first run.
One PC was first scanned with the latest Sophos 3.92 and IDE updates, using the "Full" and "All Files" options and the result showed a clean PC.
Sophos was then uninstalled and Kaspersky installed in it's place.
On the initial KAV system scan Kaspersky found:
Win32.Stubby.c in farmmext.exe
and also Win32.Agent.cb in spike.exe
which seemed to have been completely missed by Sophos
Kaspersky then revealed that seven of the remaining nine PCs had infectionsof various Dialer Dloader & Bettynet-A virus as follows: 6, 3, 22, 6, 1, 4 & 26.
