Need to catch a virus spreader

by mlevy . Updated 21 years ago

Need some advice on catching a virus spreader. I am on a network that is shared between several departments and I only have control over the PC in my group. I am running McAfee 8i and ePO 3.1.2 on all my PC’s and I am constantly getting pounded by machines from another part of the network with lovegate. All I get from the McAfee & ePO logs is the username of the offender, no IP or computer name. I have called the netadmin responsible for the domain that this username is a part of but he says it’s a generic name used on their production floor by 80 or so computers and he does not have the time to check them all.
How can I identify the IP or computer name of the machine that is pounding my computers with virus traffic. Any free solutions would be ideal as $$ is tight here.
Thanks,
-MLevy
