    Hi

    There was a virus attack on my web server hosted remotely. The hosting company suspended the server and informed us through an email notice:

    Cause of suspension: The server tried to send a packet with an
    unregistered MAC address (so called "MAC spoofing"). This caused an
    automatic switchport shutdown.

    offending MAC: 000d.3af1.4f00


    Now, the server is in debug mode and I don't have all the options to install/uninstall programs on server through a web based limited control panel. I generated the following hijackthis log. Please help me if you get a clue from this. Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    If you have a server that is infected, then you need get someone to fix the server. This is not something we can help you fix since it is not malware. MAC spoofing is cause by incorrectly/poorly configure network hardware or hardware lacking sufficient capabilities.

    Also a HijackThis log is not going to help you find any problems related to MAC or IP spoofing.

    However, I will ask what the below are. cmd.exe is not the Windows shell. Explorer.exe is!
    X:\Tools\A43\a43.exe

    F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=cmd.exe /k start cmd.exe
