Hi. I assume you want to get as much evidence as possible. If this is forever-running machine and it was not restarted 
since the infection have taken place it is pretty likely there are still traces in memory. I assume you did not install 
any kernel-mode driver proactively to grab sensitive data this way. You did not mention which OS you have up and 
running there. If there is Vista or up there is another problem because you cannot really access memory directly like 
it could have been done on Windows 2000 for instance. Information you provided are very theoretical, so any precise 
answer cannot be given at this point.
