im not saying it was any of these for sure, i simply said

I use one computer for my server and only my server, no email ect.

I only use this computer for emu related stuff for running server and nothing else.

so this virus came from one of the databases, zip files, or what ever program, but definatley related to running a server.
no need to get offensive, for all i know someone could of broke into my house and slipped a disk with the virus in my computer and ran it i guess. i didnt mean to cause a big flame cannon here, cause he dont know what he's talking about kinda thing. i been using computers for 15 years and do have some knowlege of how they work, but i have no clue when it comes to viruses or bugs ect. or coding for all that matter. i just know that

1. I reformatted and installed windows xp approx three weeks ago.
2. I downloaded all the files for running a server.
3. I installed and ran Everquest.
4. I intalled and ran eqemu.
5. Installed and ran all the programs associated with a server, was up for three weeks.
6. Downloaded just about every zip file I could find that had to do with making a database.
7. Never used email or even set up email on the computer.

and from what i hear you dont have to actually even open an exe file to infect your computer and executed at boot up. but like i said previous, i have no idea how it works.

and at this point i wouldnt mind one bit if you deleted this whole thread and just forgot about it.

sorry for wasting my time and yours.
