This technique, known as sinkholing, is allowing Microsoft and its partners to build a list of all infected victims, which the organizations plan to use to notify all affected companies and government agencies.

But if I just own a computer, not a company or organization, that may not really help me. It might indirectly help by protecting my ISP.

Assuming for the moment, the existance - IF ANY - of the SolarWinds package installed, unbeknownst to you . . .

To get a detailed report of what is installed on your Windows OS based machine, in the command line, type:

msinfo32 /report %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\sys_info_bkup.txt

After the reporting completes, locate the file (sys_info_bkup.txt) on your Desktop and change that file’s name to:

20201219_Saturday_System_Information_bkup_computername.txt

for your convenience.

The report should show SolarWinds installed - IF IT IS INSTALLED.

If not installed, worry less, and continue to keep an eye on your machine’s security.

IF INSTALLED, then try the following webpage that provides the SolarWinds steps for detecting the “SolarWinds.Orion.Core.BusinessLayer.dll” library file:

Or, you might start there, first.
