Comment Re:McAfee Stinger for Conficker V. scanner.py (Score 1) 288

Maybe I'm doing it wrong. For me, this tool is not so quick and easy.

The scanner.py is not giving me hits against infected machines. The only way I get hits is to scan using Stinger from safe mode (safe mode is needed to delete the files).

For the record, of my workstations 90% plus were patched. It was a few workstations that were missed plus a weak password on the rest that got us in trouble.

You can search "conficker" on picasa to seen the screenshots of the scanner.py failing to detect anything on an infected machine. Also, there is no firewall running on this PC.
