Title: Damn Virii! (the real kind)
Post by: Fuse on January 20, 2006, 03:25:50 pm: Hey guys, due to a really really nasty virus that got into my network, my system will be down for a little bit. I'm going to have to reformat/reinstall every-damn-thing. For you, this means my FTP will not be up until the rest of the system is, and I am positive the virus didn't spread into my backup drives. Obviously I won't be back in game for a bit... Broin, check your PMs later

Pros:
1.I get to upgrade to Windows Server 2003 (thanks bell).
2.A nice wipe of a HD is a good thing once in a while.
3.Get rid of unused programs... So more space.
4.Keep my arse busy for a while.

Cons:
1.EVERYTHING ELSE!
2.See above.

Post by: Styan on January 21, 2006, 05:51:45 pm: I couldn't get Norton to work on it... I had to get a program called NOD32 (seems to do a good job) haven't thrown a virus on the computer to test it tho :p

Other than that, I'm using that computer as a print server, and had to go manually download the Epson Drivers for my printer. I don't believe Server 2003 existed when the original driver CD was shipped.

Post by: Fuse on January 23, 2006, 02:09:05 pm: Win2k3Serv and the FTP are back up.
Same FuseAddress (fuse.gotdns.com)
Same FuseLogin(FA)
Same FusePW(fa2006)....I think.

It will be up and down for the next few days as I tweak settings and such. Never more than 15 or so minutes though.
