I'm seeing false positives from boxes that are sharing our their attached HP printers. Although the false positives were a little annoying, the tool did reveal some shares that were infected with Nimba that we had first missed with other tools. William S. Paris Telecommunication/Network Analyst Sorrento Lactalis Inc. bparisat_private I just ran this scanner and am picking up more false positives than real infections. Not only did it pick up all my Macs (they arent even running Dave or have any SMB shares), it picked up my indigo and my Snap Server (tell me how a snap server gets infected by this?). I realize that diagnosing these things is a shot in the dark - but, telling me "open guest share" when the machine is not sharing anything (or even listening on 139) is kinda a mis-nomer an a cause for panic (130 "infected" out of 253 possible)...anyone else seen this kind of false positive from the scanner? -John Stauffacher ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
