We have a Windows NT 4.0 Server with Seervice Pack 6, & Internet Information Server 4.0. We have a Web site and a SQL server running on this system.We Installed Nortons Antivirus Corporate edition 7.6 client on this machine to get rid of the virus problem. The problem is NAV is picking 1000,s of virus every week and then puts it into a quarntine folder as *.vbn file and that is consuming a fair bit of disk space. The File VPC32.exe is constantly working on this machine and keeps the CPU busy all the time say 87% to 90%. This process slows the Web server which is the main purpose of this machine.We do not have any active email client on this machine.
--The Question is how to stop the virus getting into this Web Server.
__Is the Virus coming through some open TCP port.

Any help on this issue will be very much appriciated.
 
Is it the same virus that's coming up?
I'd have a look at the virus information for removal instructions, and how it infects PCs.
 
Yes its a same Virus, but was infected before Nortons Antivirus Was installed so while routine scanning NAV was picking up all those file in a *.tmp extension as a virus and was putting it up in a quarintine folder. So the problem is solved now after we uninstalled NAV and reinstalled it again.The virus was "backdoor Trojan".
 
exempt Norton from scanning the Quarantine directory. Sounds like a wash, rinse, repeat situation. don't allow it to scan that directory.
