Antidote
Delivery
Manager
Antidote
Delivery
Manager
works
by
delivering
instructions
from
an
administrator
to
each
system
and
by
supporting
commands
to
combat
a
virus
or
a
worm.
The
administrator
prepares
a
script
containing
the
actions
desired
on
each
system.
The
repository
function
delivers
the
script
securely
to
the
system
within
minutes
and
executes
the
commands.
Commands
include
restricting
network
connections,
displaying
messages
to
the
users,
restoring
files
from
backups,
downloading
files,
executing
other
system
commands,
and
rebooting
the
machine
either
to
the
same
operating
system
or
to
switch
in
to
or
out
of
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
environment.
Both
the
repository
function
and
the
commands
work
in
either
the
normal
operating
system
(such
as
Windows
XP)
or
in
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
environment.
The
overall
strategy
to
combat
a
virus
is
to
reduce
the
spread
and
damage
of
the
malicious
code,
apply
patches
and
cleanup
to
each
system,
and
then
bring
the
restored
machines
back
on
to
the
network.
For
a
highly
destructive
and
fast
spreading
virus,
it
might
be
necessary
to
remove
systems
from
the
network
and
conduct
all
repair
operations
in
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
environment.
Although
this
is
the
safest
method,
it
is
also
disruptive
to
users,
if
applied
during
normal
working
hours.
In
some
circumstances,
shifting
to
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
environment
can
be
delayed
or
avoided
by
restricting
the
network
capabilities.
The
next
step
is
to
get
patches
and
cleanup
code
downloaded,
and
clean
code
run
and
patches
set
up
for
installation.
In
general,
patches
are
designed
to
be
installed
while
the
operating
system
is
running,
but
clean
up
and
other
operations
might
be
more
appropriate
in
the
Rescue
and
Recovery
environment.
When
the
corrective
actions
are
complete,
the
system
can
then
be
restored
to
normal
operation
with
Windows
XP
running
and
network
configurations
restored.
The
following
two
sections
describe
the
repository
operation
and
commands
in
detail.
Then
installation
and
configuration
of
the
function
is
presented.
The
following
sections
are
examples
of
how
to
use
the
system
for
the
common
tasks
of
testing,
responding
to
destructive
viruses,
addressing
machines
connected
by
wireless
or
Virtual
Private
Networks
(VPNs),
and
fixing
less
destructive
problems.
Installing
the
Antidote
network
component
Rescue
and
Recovery
4.2
must
be
installed
on
all
client
systems.
Configuration
can
be
made
before
the
installation
or
performed
later.
