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.
