Well, this is shocking . I discovered this by accident, because a scanner wasn't working. The problem is that the scanner services don't work. How did I find out? Cause I can't enter to ANY service: - Users and machines in active directory and all the administrative tools under the control panel (performance, services, license, etc etc etc. I translated these from spanish so be patient with the lousy translations guys !) - Radmin and VNC don't work on this PC either… they work as services. On VNC I get an "the key is not valid" when trying to connect, when I try to change it, I get an error that I interpret as a service that was not loaded. Anyway, I don't know if this problem of not being able to configure the admin tools is the same that is causing some services not to load correctly, but I believe they are; they started at the same time. I'm seeing that when this happens (which is all the time, except when I JUST restarted the PC. I can enter to administrative tools, services, active directory users, etc, for like 5 minutes and then stops working… double click and nothing happens), I can't alter folder's permissions. That is, users permissions. And also, both Hard disks show 0 MBs free & 0 used which is obviously impossible. Please help me out, I'm, totally blown off balance with this problem Anyway, this is the log from Hijackthis: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 01:26:45 p.m., on 25/09/2006 Platform: Windows 2003 SP1 (WinNT 5.02.3790) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.3790.1830) Running processes: D:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe D:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe D:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe D:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe D:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe D:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe D:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE D:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Escritorio\Windows-KB890830-V1.20.exe d:\300cb9d80e450f1cca\mrtstub.exe D:\WINDOWS\system32\MRT.exe D:\WINDOWS\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE D:\Archivos de programa\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe D:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\CONFIG~1\Temp\Rar$EX00.125\HijackThis.exe R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = res://shdoclc.dll/hardAdmin.htm R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = res://shdoclc.dll/hardAdmin.htm R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName = Vínculos O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DiskeeperSystray] "D:\Archivos de programa\Diskeeper Corporation\Diskeeper\DkIcon.exe" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nod32kui] "D:\Archivos de programa\Eset\nod32kui.exe" /WAITSERVICE O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroFilterCheck] D:\Archivos de programa\Archivos comunes\Ahead\Lib\NeroCheck.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Tau Monitor] D:\ARCHIV~1\Agnitum\TAUSCA~1.7\taumon.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [BgMonitor_{79662E04-7C6C-4d9f-84C7-88D8A56B10AA}] "D:\Archivos de programa\Archivos comunes\Ahead\Lib\NMBgMonitor.exe" O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [AWMON] "D:\Archivos de programa\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Professional\Ad-Watch.exe" O4 - Startup: No-IP DUC.lnk = D:\Archivos de programa\No-IP\DUC20.exe O4 - Global Startup: Iniciar servicios de entrega.lnk = ?

PS: the server is behind a D-link Dl-604 router and the server itself has no firewall. Could this be part of the problem? I mean, I think the d-link should be enough to protect it…
Also, I just installed the cleaner 4.0, updated the trojans database running in normal mode, NOT safe mode and the program says "failed to load trojans database". For me, that must be the trojan messing with my system :angry:
Ok, let's see…I get this errors repeated like 10 times a minute on event viewer, after a certain date. This are translated from spanish, so they might be some discrepances: Error number 1058: Windows can't acces the file gpt.ini para GPO CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=ces. The file must be present in <\\ces\sysvol\ces\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>. (The system can't file the specified file. ). The group directive process has been terminated. Error number: 1030. Windows can't consult the list of the group directory objets. Check previous event log messeges …. etc These 2 errors are everywhere from last month till today, several times per hour and sometimes 10 times a minute. I'm searching info on this right now, any ideas appreciated.
OK guys, after installing Genie Backup Manager Server 6.0 on my own PC with Windows 2003, I discovered totally by chance that, after restarting, I started getting the same problems on my own PC. After that, I eliminated that software from the server which was the reason of these posts and all works fine now. I haven't checked yet if the problem is with all realeases of GBM 6.0 server, just this subversion (I mean, the numbers after 6… 6.12 for example) or perhaps (most probable) the source of my copy; it wans't from any trust worthy site. I learned an important lesson… never install untested software on a critical server.
