Possible file corruption or someone attempting to exploit an unpatched hole. First, get properties on the C drive and do an error check. Check in both boxes and let it reboot to perform the scan. You should be using NTFS for the filesystem. If not, I encourage you to convert unless you have a reason for sticking with FAT. Second, Go to windows update and make sure you have all the critical updates installed. Third, install hfnetchklt (shavlik.com) and run a scan on your computer, suppressing notes and warnings. Install any patches it complains about. Make sure you redownload the patches since MS updates them on occasion. -Lucas -----Original Message----- From: Greg Wiedeman [mailto:gswcentral () attbi com] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 5:38 AM To: incidents () securityfocus com Subject: Weird Profile in Documents and Settings I have an incident where in the documents and settings in windows 2000 I have a profile show up under a number of systems where the name of the folder shows up as 3 squares. I don't know where it came from but it appears on my workstations and my servers. I don't know what it is. Does anyone know anything that would make this profile???? I have done virus scans and trojan scans along with scumware scans but all turn up negative.
