    Greetings:
    
    I'd rather just read the mail and not be a regular.  Too many auto
    respondeers coming back at me say "I'm not in until such and such a time.
    In case of emergency contact ....", each time I post but...  I have a
    problem, I think.
    
    Who or what is ALEVRIUS!
    
    Is it related to ALEVIR or the Opaserv/Opasoft worm?
    
    The reason I ask, we had a number of weird things happening on our little
    network this morning so I decided to run MS Netmon and captue a while.
    When I finished capturing I did a Find All Names.   and it discovered a new
    one:
    
    ALEVRIUS! [no transposition (sp?) error.  It is ALEVRIUS! with the
    exclamation mark] associated with a specific ip address with a valid
    appearing dynamic DNS name.
    
    Now we run mainly NT servers and I get the sense that if it is ALEVIR that
    our hosts may not get infected.  Still I am scanning our drives for
    occurances of alevir, scrsvr, brasil, marco!, instit, mqbkup and mmstask.
    In all cases hoping (or not) to find the .exe file which is supposed to be
    the driver.  As a last thought, I also searched for alevrius.  All searches
    were negative.
    
    I did a search of online.securityfoucs.com/archives for both alevir and
    alevrius! but found not match.  I assume, then. that this is either a new
    topic or one of little importance.  Can anyone enlighten me?
    
    Regards,
    
    Geert
