That is not good. It meant my ccript.exe was missing. Well sort of. After investigating this I noticed I had a new Service and new user accounts in my Server. Sure enough something was uploaded into my system directory. It is a variant of ServU which is commonly used by hackers.

Well, I'm quite sure I would not have been able to direct you to what you found beyond the references I made to look at "other things" on your system. Clearly, you took that to heart though and found something very specific and very wrong (which your attempt to run the modified cygwin.bat file clearly showed - sorry I didn't comment on that earlier). In any case, well done. Glad you found the problem and got things back under control. Your persistence paid off and for more than just Cygwin. :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
