Infected file in system32 folder?
nite_monkey:
Today my anti-virus program (avast home edition) came up saying that C:\WINDOWS\system32\server.exe is infected with a Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other}, I would like to know what this file is, and possibly how it got on my computer, and if I should remove it?

Which windows version are you running, and how is it connected to the internet? (Most important: are you behind a NAT'ing router that does not forward all traffic by default to your box?)
nite_monkey:
I am running XP pro SP2
I am conected to a hub(I think) which is conected to a router, which is conected to the cable modem.
That is about all I can tell you about the way I am conected to the internet, I am not very smart when it comes to internet and what not.

Maybe it should be setver.exe, not server.exe ??
Read about it here - Oops! The interesting part of the article is Subscribers only. Sorry!
