Virus code only makes it onto your machine through an executable of some sort. This rules out database scripts. There are many forms of executables, but if your claim about running strictly the emu and nothing else is fact, one of these is the source of your virus:

zone.exe
world.exe
mysqld-nt.exe
winmysqladmin.exe
(WhateverEmuAdminTool.exe)
(Operating System install)

Tell me where you obtained each and every one of these, and we can pinpoint the source of your virus. If you have downloaded *any* other executables, you'll have to include that on the list of candidates.

I doubt the above listed programs are the only things that do exist or have existed on your machine. For example, you claimed to have been infected with a virus. How do you know this? Did you use a virus scanner? A virus scanner is an executable that can carry a virus, yet it is not in the list above.

so this virus came from one of the databases, zip files, or what ever program, but definatley related to running a server
That's a pretty big accusation. Please don't be offended when we take them very seriously.
