I have a W2k Pro Sp4 computer on which files seem to have been maliciously
written under c:\inetpub\ftproot ( the IIS server is running as is the FTP
service and folder access is limited to authenticated users). The folders
show up in the explorer, there are 9 of them , some with a name , some show
just the folder icon but the name is either a space or some invisible
character), each of these folders has multiple levels of subfolders each
with garbage name, some like hehehe , which leads me to believe some bastard
has gotten access to the computer and written trash to it, yet the latest
Symantec antivirus corp. edition with the latest definitions did not find
any viruses on the machine. I can't delete any of these folders. When I try
I get an a message, Cannot delete file, cannnot read from source file or
disk.
Anyone had any similar problems and found a way around it? I want to try to
avoid reformatting the drive, its a production machine and I have several
programs running on it. Recreating it would be a very last resort.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
