Does anyone know if there's a virus out there that will change roaming
profiles on Windows 2000 servers?

This client has Active Directory and using roaming profiles. They
experienced some problems with roaming profiles yesterday, and the
system administrator restoreded the profiles. As of this morning,
about 1/5 of the profiles were changed again, and many shortcuts were
disappeared on affected users.

any input?

Thanks in advance,
