Title: Slightly OT: Need some server/virus/spyware help

Just a suggestion, we recently had something land that the AV didn’t pickup, I dropped the win2K disk in rebooted, went for the install option, then just before you commit for the install it has the option to repair, I selected that option, it kept all the info for the imail server and users, don’t forget to reservice pack before you go live and take a backup of the registry,   It worked for me was up and running with all users still in tact   Just back up before you try   Pat     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Troy D. Hilton Sent: 23 August 2005 08:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ipswitch. com Subject: [IMail Forum] Slightly OT: Need some server/virus/spyware help   So, it’s 3 something in toe morning and I’m here scanning my mail server for spyware. One of my associates used it to browse some websites and got the sucker infected with all sorts of nasties. I’ve spent the better part of 3 days trying to get this thing clean to no avail. While my software will detect the spyware it cannot completely clean it so the apps become active after a reboot. I’m considering a server rebuild but I really don’t want to take my only Imail server completely off line for me to wipe the drives and rebuild it from scratch. That will take hours. Oh, it’s a Compaq Proliant 5000 server running Imail 7.15 HF2. Yes, it’s old but it works for us. Is there a way to simply reinstall the OS and perhaps some patches without having to totally reconfigure the server or use the Compaq SmartStart app? I’m betwixt a hard rock and a concrete wall. Oh, this server is also my primary DNS server as well, running SimpleDNS Plus, just to complicate things. Any help is Greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact me offline. Thanks! Troy D.
