    Hi

    I wonder if anyone can shed some light on the following:

    A server kept crashing, the hardware is pretty old so it was obvoiusly the
    1st thing that was looked at. The box is running Windows NT 4. It turned
    out that the hardware is fine. but we found directories containing
    encrypted files as well as suspicious files in the Windows directories.
    We can not delete these directories. It looks to me as if someone has
    hacked into the box and is using it as a gateway, probably for something
    illegal.

    Has anyone encountered this problem and if so, what can I do to fix it.

    Regards
    Steve
