    Hi Folks

    My webserver was hacked and although I have cleaned all the ftp files vaious antispyware software has revealed Wiback and mroot.sys. These are located in hidden directories. By locating some of the hackers log and ini files Ihave managed to remove some of these by typing in the path in dos and FTP software. But there are still hidden folders and files in some locations and without knowing their names its seems impossible to see them.

    Can any one help me make these folder visible? (btw I have tried Explorer show all files etc, attrib from DOS, Ztree etc - Security task manager tells me mroot.exe is running but it cannot close it due to the fact the location seems not to exist.

    Two other programs I would add are Process Explorer and Autoruns by
    Sysinternals. In Autoruns look at drivers and you may see some with no discription. Also look at the services.
