Hi, I have a client who suspects that they may have a worm running around there network that is infecting machines through open shares or some other means of propogation. The symptom is that when people open up windows exploer and try to search the explorer.exe process dies. I installed the microsoft spyware application and they are using up-to-date virus definitions with their scanner. I also went through netstat looking for strange open port and saw nothing. The event log also has nothing out of the ordinary in it What is the best way to troubleshoot something like this? I can get the dump file from dr watson but I am unsure where to go from there. Suggestions appreciated. Thx, Leon ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
