You can use a group policy to protect your server from known viruses that require an executable to run. For example, Sobig.F and Blaster are two fine examples.Go to Run > Type MMC to open the Microsoft Management Console.
Select File > Add/Remove Snap-in > Add > Group Policy Object Editior
Allow it to modify the Local Computer in the wizard. Close > OK
Navigate to Local Computer Policy > User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System Click on Systems on the left hand pane. You should get some choices in the right hand pane.
Select Don’t Run Specified Windows Applications.
Select Enable and then Show > Add
Add any applications you want to restrict. Blaster and Sobig.F are
WINPPR32.EXE
MSBLASTER.EXE
Click OK and close out of the MMC. You are now protected.
This is no substitute for AV Protection and a Firewall. This is just another layer of protection.
