[cobalt-users] extreme newbie with possible virus

["Lenore Howe" <lhowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have recently (a week ago) inherited the job of webmaster due to a layoff.
I am running a Cobalt RAQ3 with OS 5.0.  Last Friday, I got an email from
someone saying that my server was port-sniffing which probably indicated
that I had some sort of virus. Since then, I've heard from different sources
that Norton Anti-virus software signals the presence of a virus on pages
downloaded from the website.

I have scanned the backed up pages of the website for a virus using McAfee
and have found nothing.  I have installed all of the updates and patches and
still I'm hearing from people about a virus.

Can someone help me figure out how to determine IF I have a virus and what I
can do about it?  How far back do I have to go in my backups to insure that
I have a clean version of the website? At the Server Management console, all
of the services are running fine.

Thanks.
