I hardly ever touch my server but I noticed Xupiter was installed on it so I was taking a look around .. when I opened regedit, blank IE windows started opening endlessly so I restarted the computer (there wasn't much else I could do). When the computer came back on I did a scan with Norton AntiVirus and found this :confused: .. definitely doesn't look good. So what do I do now that I know about the infected files? Would it be best just to reformat and get a firewall up? I've been meaning to get Win2k on it (98SE right now) but it does what it needs to so if there is another option let me know. Thanks!

Thanks HotChic (and yllus). I ran IRClean and nothing came up after it was done but nothing came up when I scanned again so I guess it worked. Let's see if it'll let me use regedit now ..

Use The Cleaner for that, not IRClean. :)

Also may want to check using TDS-3, whose database has been updated much more recently.
