Ok, I'm turning to the SBS pros for advice on a problem I'm having at
a client's office. Everyone knows that collectively we are the best in
the business. Well, not everyone knows. I just inerited this client
and was suprised to find a computer on the internet with no firewall
or AV. The computer's IP was in the router's DMZ list. Anyway, the
network shortcomings have been resolved. There are 4 computers, and
all have been scanned and cleaned with Mcafee Stinger, Mcafee
VirusScan Enterprise 8.i, and Norton Antivirus 2003.I have also run
AdAware and Search and Destroy on all computers and cleaned spyware.
However, this one computer persists in sending huge amounts of data
out randomly throughout the day. It is enough to make their VPN
applications fail because of bandwidth issues. I installed Zone Alarm
on the trouble PC and after searching through the logs, I noticed that
csrss.exe wants outbound access persistantly. With Zone Alarm
installed, the problem seems to go away and yesterday they ran fine.
Today, I disabled Zone Alarm and the problem popped up in the
afternoon. I've researched csrss.exe virus traits but my scanners
should pick up any of these known problems. Any advice on how to
proceed? Zone Alarm provides the temporary fix, but don't SBSers want
to get to the root of the problem?

Thanks,

Steve
