When scanning our network. We are getting several machines detected with a trojan Kilo, apparently a backdoor trojan. We have scanned with several tools and not found anything on these PC's. Could something else be causing this?

   I've also seen this since upgrading to version 9, specifically on ports 6666 and 6667. We've had our network scanned with various products by outside auditors and GFI is the only one that reports Kilo.

Can you run "netstat -a -b" in cmd on one of the scanned computers and check whether 6666 or 6667 is reported open. If so, what is the name of the service/executable involved?

Hello Stelim,

I'm evaluating GFI Languard for 60 computars and most of them I got this false-positive. I also scanned with other security products and only GFI give me this result. When I ran netstat, neither of 6667 and 6668 ports were avalilabe (results follows). I really appreciate if you can give me a path to make a decision of use GFI in my company. Thanks!

Regards,

Marcelo

Sorry, the correct ports are KiLo (6667) and KiLo (6666) and all information I gathered said these are UDP ports.

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to this.

I am setting up a brand new PC today. I scanned it prior to giving it to the user and it also show the backdoor kilo. When I run the netstat -a -b there is no reference to port 6666 or 6667. I assume that the reported item is incorrect, but I am unclear on why it shows up on some computers but not others.

Hmm, I'm having this problem as well and it is rather annoying.  I too had this appear since I updated, and I too am not able to actually find anything listening or operating on these UDP ports.  GFI Languard incorrectly identifies this vulnerability on ALL my servers (including two VMware ESX hosts) EXCEPT my domain controllers.  Go figure.

Has anyone done a packet capture of the scan traffic?  I bet the detection algorithm is messed up in GFI.  It is very annoying to have to document this false positive each month.  I've considered disabling this from my scans, but security auditors tend to frown upon that (just in case of the very minute possiblility that this vulnerability actually does turn up).

For the record, I'm running Version 9 Build 20090313, vulnerability update 18

Can you disable all AntiVirus scans on both the GFI Languard machine AND the machines being scanned, then perform the scan again?  Many AntiVirus clients can cause false positives from the GFI Languard port scans.

Thanks for the tip.  It turns out it was McAfee - specifically VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0.  Because it is controlled by policy, I could not disable the virus scanner, so I temporarily uninstalled McAfee and retried a scan.  This time, 6666/6667 did not show up, despite the target server having McAfee installed.  I'll be investigating the configuration to determine what is causing that false positive, hoping to reconfigure the policy to work around the false positive.

Just a follow up - if anyone else is having this issue:

I was able to create an exception by adding the "lnsscomm.exe" executable under Access Protection -> Anti-virus Standard Protection "Prevent IRC communication".
