Hi
The workstation is Windows 7, server is an old SBS server. I RDP'd to the server and the folders appeared corrupted on the server as well. The original folders were still there as well but hidden. Does sound like some malware got in but scans were clean like your problem. Definitely something weird. Regards Graham What's the workstation OS? Is this a desktop shortcut that's going all cattywampus? I'm chasing down a problem that *might* be related: a Windows 7 Pro workstation has problems with desktop shortcuts that just turn to mush - sometimes links to non-existent registry entries, or broken links to existing exe's. Machine has layers upon layers of anti-malware (firewall, active scanner, MSE, etc.) so I don't *think* it's a malware more than a misfire. Here's a website (don't know of the accuracy) claiming it's a desktop maintenance task: http://www.ghacks.net/2010/03/30/fix-windows-7-desktop-shortcuts-disappe aring/ On Thu, Jan 29, 2015 at 3:13 AM, Graham Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi > > > > I have a Foxpro 6 app running on an SBS server from a mapped network > drive (O:) > > In the O: root I should have a gage_tup folder but if I right click > properties on this folder I actually see a shortcut instead with this > command line. > > > > C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start cmd.exe /C if exist > "\\SBS\cbs\FDP5\CLIPART\cJVssV.AYl > <file:///\\SBS\cbs\FDP5\CLIPART\cJVssV.AYl> " start "" > "\\SBS\cbs\FDP5\CLIPART\cJVssV.AYl > <file:///\\SBS\cbs\FDP5\CLIPART\cJVssV.AYl> " && start "" > "\\SBS\cbs\GAGE_TUP <file:///\\SBS\cbs\GAGE_TUP> " > > > > All the folders have been replaced with the same weird shortcuts.
