Malware detected but i couldn't find the source

Fonderia Corra

Hi,

i have a pc where "sophos endpoint" detecte periodically a malware. This malware has been cleaned. Here the log.

Feb 11, 2019 2:16 PM Malware cleaned up: 'Mal / Generic-R' at 'C: \ Windows \ System32 \ cbdglkue.bo'
Feb 11, 2019 2:15 PM Malware detected: 'Mal / Generic-R' at 'C: \ Windows \ System32 \ cbdglkue.bo'

I execute "sophos clean" but it does not find any risk.

Which is the source of this malware?

    Hello Fonderia Corra,

    I'd use neither -p nor -n, maybe restrict it with -ext bo, and use -loglevel 1. It has to run until you get the detection.
    BTW: Mal/Generic-R is not necessarily malicious

    Hello Hello Fonderia Corra,

    is the problem the pc with IP 192.168.4.178?
    not only, I'd say. Yes, the file is written from this PC. But furthermore the connection is made as PC-SIMONATO\Administrator, PC-SIMONATO's local administrator it seems. How is 192.168.4.178 to do this?
    You should try to obtain a sample of cbdglkue.bo and submit it. Can't say what you'll find on 192.168.4.178 and how to deal with it. Perhaps it's better to ask for some advice.
