stevebower 0 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I'm getting lots of email spam with attached malware in Word/pdf docs. However, NOD32 doesn't pick this up immediately, and allows the email to be opened. Later in the day though (it seems), if I click the dodgy email, it will get moved to infected items. Why the delay? Thanks
Administrators Marcos 5,468 Posted February 16, 2015 Administrators Posted February 16, 2015 There's nothing like 100% detection, no vendor detects 100% of malware from the very first moment it starts to spread. Make sure that you have Live Grid enabled and test its functionality as follows: 1, Download Cloudcar test file from hxxp://www.amtso.org/check-desktop-cloud-lookups (direct download link: hxxp://www.amtso.org/amtso/uploads/cloudcar.exe).The file should be blocked by Web protection as a suspicious object. 2, Temporarily disable Web protection, download Cloudcar and save it to your disk.3, Enable Web protection.4, Create a new email, Attach Cloudcar to it and send it to your email address.5, Receive email. The file in attachment should be detected as a suspicious object and removed.
rugk 397 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) If you often receive a lot of Word documents with malware it may also be a nice idea to enable the document protection of NOD32 (or ESS). Additionally you didn't say what email-client you use. This would be a quite important information... Edited February 20, 2015 by rugk
