Firewall intercepts Virus between networks. False Positive???

L3 Networker

Dear Palo Alto experts...,

 

We have various systems in our LAN seperated by our Palo Alto firewall.

 

In the last 24 hours the firewall detected 2.7K times the virus  "Virus/Win32.WGeneric.rktkq"

The systems are scanned for inventory by two programs. Spiceworks and PDQ inventory. The scan server is on one side of the firewall. The other servers are on the other side of the firewall.

The "Spiceworks" server has been scanned by our Kasperksy AntiVirus solution. No detections here.

 

What could be causing this? And if it is a false positive, what would the next path forward to solve this problem?

 

Any thoughts you might have are very welcome.

Leo,

 

We noticed that an upgrade was available of PDQ inventory. After the upgrade (release 3) the virus detections disappeared.

I have also informed PDQ/Admin Arsenal about our findings.

I asked the PDQ team to update their application.  The firewall team also also tells me that a signature update released yesterday corrected this.  No alerts so far today.

 

Thanks,

leo
