![]() ![]() Vendor won't let me in to the system to run a scan - don't know what they are afraid of. So should that keep if from being infected? Also, did the vendor configure EWF correctly? The feeling I am getting is that EWF prevents writes to the hard drive. I also read something about XPe (XP Embedded) having a special EWF - Enhanced Write Filter. So, can it be infected? I googled "windows XP embedded virus" and it seems multiple vendors make products for them, leading me to believe - yes, they can be infected. Normally, our domain PC's are auto patched, but this one is not on our domain. Well, Conficker spreads via the local LAN via a Windows vulnerability. The vendor states (they installed it as part of a plotter system) that they never have had a virus on their systems as they do not talk to the Internet. I also found a PC that is running Windows XP Embedded. A converted picture frame, a recycled PC pointing to an old AV server with outdated definitions, etc. While most of our PC's were protected, we did find some rogue windows devices. We recently had an outbreak of the Conficker virus.
