>From last 2 days we are facing a the problem of files and folders either
being moved or deleted from the shared drive. We have a Windows NT network
with users on either Win2000 or WinXP. Some of the folders and files were
moved from their original location and some folders/files were deleted. I
could not find the deleted files/folders in the recycle bin of the shared
server for which no one has access except the administrator (me). During the
day everything seems to be fine. I am normally the last person to leave the
office after taking backups. Next day morning, the users are reporting this
problem.

Is there a way I could find out if these things are being done deliberately.
Or is this some kind of virus problem. We use Norton Antivirus with live
update. Can anyone suggest any solution to secure these files.
