Re: WMIPRVSE trying to TFTP a lot! Why?



From: "MrBeatnik" <MrBeatnik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| Hi all,

| Not sure if this is the right place to post...

| C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe is trying to use C:\WINDOWS
| \system32\tftp.exe to send data somewhere on all my machines in an
| enterprise environment.


| We use McAfee with rules to block any TFTP use, so the action is blocked. If
| it were not, I wouldn't even know that it was trying to do this. I'm sure the
| machines do not have a virus, and not compromised in any other way. It seems
| that WMIPRVSE is trying to do this "legitimately".

| Can anyone tell me:
| 1) Why it is trying to TFTP?
| 2) How I can configure it to STOP trying to TFTP?


| Thanks!

There is a strong possibility the PC is infected.
