ISSUE - FakeAlert-MY.gen (Trojan)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5.0 (Build:8.5.1)
AntiVirus 8.5

I have currently received a outbreak of around 5 machines being affected by the above Trojan. The issue has been dealt with but would welcome any ideas on to how i can protect myself from this in future?

The machines that were infected were updated to the latest DAT.

The usual answer to that is to educate your users not to open attachments. What has this problem got to do with Zimbra? A slightly better description of your problem might help.

If you use Zimbra antivirus, and it doesn't recognize/block a given virus (IN EMAIL, of course), then you should submit it to ClamAV.

Clam AntiVirus

Note: if the virus is zipped, you might want to submit both the zipped and unzipped versions, although since Bug 45607 - Suspect.Bredozip-zippwd-13 .zip virus not detected is fixed in ZCS 6.0.7, I believe that Zimbra should detect the virus in either form. (As a workaround until 6.0.7 is released, see the comments in the bug; see also Is AntiVirus really working?)
