Thanks,
I'll throw that idea out to him as well. Hopefully he does have a decent backup or at least enough space to create one on. Wiping/reloading cleaned data will take him some time though - he's in the middle of some testing stuff at the school so that can't be interrupted at the moment.

Those things are truly awful speedwise. If you have a backup of the TeraStation data then I would contemplate a restoration of the backup to more responsive hardware, clean that, wipe the Terastation and restore the cleaned data.

Drives are: Buffalo TeraStation PRO NAS drives (model # TS-RHTGL/R5) Not sure if that makes any difference or not but thought I would throw it out there anyway.

(not much unlike agent ransack, windows search, etc) A customer I am working with has 16 large drives with several TB of data on each and many many shares. (in the hundreds) They have conficker & I expect to find several instances of the fake recycler bins, the worm copies & the autorun.inf files in these shares. Scanning with AV takes ages because of the amount of data involved & by the time the scan is done & items removed - they (worm copies) already have been re-written again. Is there such a tool? Trying to get more info about the NAS model numbers & setup so to make it easier to narrow down what will work & what will not. Yes - autorun is killed via GPO at the site (although it is possible the GPO didn't take on every machine) Yes - it is believed that every machine is fitted with AV & it is set up properly. (although it is possible that a few machines have missed the install or AV is broke) - this part is being investigated (in order to figure out why it keeps re-propagating) TIA!
