Re: Virus cleanup - fix compromised windows firewall settings

I totally agree, normally. But regretfully we're dealing with a
horrible ISP that will take weeks to wipe the box. We also have no
clean area to do a reinstall in because it's remote. Also, it's
supposed to be behind a firewall, but I just don't think the ISP has
very strict rules on the firewall.

Why are you using ISP's hardware if they have shown they can't protect
the OS/apps?

Either get your own servers and firewall or find another ISP to host
your applications.
