Unhappy Windows XP Server problems...

Hello all.

I've just started a new job and currently we're using
Win XP Pro as the server (we're upgrading to Win Server 2003 soon),
and the current server PC has a virus

I've downloaded the virus fixes from the Symantec site, as
well as the blaster worm patch for MS, but still get this:

http://www.glasgowbike.fsnet.co.uk/VIRUS.JPG

Also, we only have a 56k connecction at the minute, and the
server keeps wanting to dial up. When it connects, the
"bytes sent" figure is more than triple the amount of the
"bytes recieved" number - as all us 56k users know, this should
virtually never happen.

It's as if a virus is causing the dial up to try and connect and is
then sending something across the net.

I'm not new to PC's at all, but I am new to WinXP - can anyone
offer any hints? When we install the new Win Server 2003 (maybe
tomorrow) I'm going to wipe all the XP machines, but I'd still like to know what this problem is.

Thanks.

that is panda online scan, i like it a bit better myself for virus scanning. opinions are different, use whatever you like.

that is for adaware to remove spyware, spybot search and destroy is a bit better, but can remove somethings you dont if you are not familiar with the os in question. feel free to remove what ever adaware finds, may want to check for updates after downloading and installing it, make sure you have the latest definitions. if a program no longer works after running adaware, like kazaa, get a spyware free version like kazaa lite. everything has a spyware free version, or other program that does the same thing without it.

Thumbs up

Thanks Known_criminal - it was a virus and the online scan
at Panda Software removed it. The page is now bookmarked on
every PC in the office

Thanks again.
