Recently my exchange server C drive storage capacity suddenly full. After checking, I found out that was a unknown file in C drive with strange name and funny file extension. The file came with huge size and occupy whole C drive. This causes exchange system not working properly and my client get a bounce back email. I am really no idea where was this file came from. This happen since and once at 25th of August 2005 and it happen few times in this month (September 2005). I have tried to check at Event Viewer, but nothing indicate that file belong to which application. The file size was keep growing from few Megabytes to almost 3 Gigabytes (My C drive free space is 2.67 Gigabytes). At first, I thought my system infected by virus, but after did virus scan there was no virus in the system. That file took about 2 hours to one day to disappear and my C drive back to normal free space. This happenned randomly in the past few weeks and will happen again in future unpredictably. Does anyone has a same problem with me? Please give some advises. Your assist are much appreciated. My current system is Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1. I have some screen shot of C drive storage capacity, but i don not know how to publish to your guys. Please give advise.
What was the name of the file?
Is your Virus program up to date? have you checked for spyware/malware?

My antivirus pattern is up-to-date.
I haven't try scan for spyware and malware. Please give some suggestions how to do that at my server?
I have tried the Stinger to scan my server and i can not find a virus in my system.
Hi,
Try restarting the server and scanning for viruses is safe mode
To scan for Spyware - download adaware from dowload.com also download and install the latest defitions file from download.com - when download and installed - perform a full system scan in safe mode.
HTH,
Ian .
