Larry I think I figured it out and it has nothing to do with Cygwin. I noticed my Task Manager was taking over 50% CPU whenever I had it open. When it wasn't open I did not experience this drain on the CPU. Anyway I decided to defrag my memory using this command using the Windows Scripting Host: MyString = Space(128000000) This is in a VBS file I call memory.vbs. It releases memory. It is accessed like this in the Windows Commnd Prompt: cscript memory.vbs When I did that I got cscript is not an internal command. That is not good. It meant my ccript.exe was missing. Well sort of. After investigating this I noticed I had a new Service and new user accounts in my Server. Sure enough something was uploaded into my system directory. It is a variant of ServU which is commonly used by hackers. They used it in conjunction with: hidden32.exe CsC.exe ip.exe jacheck.dll jastat.dll nc.exe WSManager32.exe (camouflaged ServU) (runs as a service) sec.exe pwdump2.exe sc.exe hxdef100.exe samdump.dll uptime.exe psinfo.exe kill0103.exe psloggedon.exe fport.exe hxdefdrv.sys There are two more services that also run. I looked at the ini used to set it all up and so knew where to look. I believe it happened due to the Windows Media Service because now that is broke. I removed it. I found these because I knew the time the issue above started and I was able to see the new files created in my System directory around that time. Anyway I noticed the issue with Cygwin at about the same time. I have cleaned these things out and voila Cygwin is fine now. Thanks for looking into this with me. -- George Hester __________________________________ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
