Hello,

I´m newbie on this forum. You offer a great help to people infected with spyware/malware.

Today NOD32 alerted me that my server is infected with Trojan/backdoor rdriv.sys. I´m not able to clean system and NOD32 has put in quarantine more than 35K copies of the infected file.

I run a W2K3 server with SP2 and automatic updates ON.

This is my log from hijackthis:

I have read other post of this trojan´s cleaning but I don´t find similar entries on my hijackthis log.

My server runs Ensim control panel, MailEnable (mail server) and Urchin (stats software).

Any help would be really appreciated.
We found a similar item on a server running MailEnable. The bad guy is a service called MailEnable SMTP Relay Service. It is set up so that you cannot stop it from the Services snap-in. We could see the process running in TaskManager but couldn't stop it from there either. We used a Microsoft program called AutoRuns which show all the program/services etc that run at startup. We found an entry for MailEnable SMTP Relay Service in the registry and were able to delete the key. This stopped the service. Then we searched the registry and found a key in the LEGACY section which mentioned MailEnable SMTP Relay Service so we deleted that also. The server has been OK since then JohnG
We are sorry that your topic was overlooked. The new infections that are coming out require us to spend more time on each topic, that and the lack of qualified helpers means that some of the topics will get passed over. Yours was one of those.

The reason for closing this topic is because you would not have been notified, should somebody have replied. Because the thread had gone 20 days without a reply.

Should you return to the forums and still require assistance, please started a thread (topic). After doing so please post in this thread, with a link to this topic, and the new one you started. :wavey:

To help keep your PC clean follow the recommendations in Tony Klein's article So how did I get infected in the first place?
