NAV Realtime scan found W32.Esbot.C virus in WINNT\System32\ssl.exe but could
not clean or quarantine (Access denied).
I received hundreds of these messages and the server has slowed down to a
crawl.
Any idea how to clean it?

Thanks.

There are anti virus News Groups specifically for this type of discussion.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script Interpreter {
http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } three batch files, five Kixtart scripts, one Link
(.LNK) file, a PDF instruction file and two utilities; UNZIP.EXE and WGET.EXE. It will
simplify the process of using; Sophos, Trend and McAfee Anti Virus Command Line Scanners to
remove viruses, Trojans and various other malware.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode. This
way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor’s web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Exit the menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file.

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.


If that doesn't work...

Download PocketKillBox -- http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/spyware/KillBox.zip

Extract KillBox.exe from the ZIP file.

Execute; KillBox.exe

In the Full Path of File to Delete box, type the entire following line exactly

C:\WINNT\System32\ssl.exe

Select; Replace on Reboot
put a check in the box "Use Dummy"
Click The Red circle and a white X
When prompted to Replace on Reboot, click YES
If prompted to Reboot Now, Click YES

Rescan the system.
