Hi All,

I recently put up a RaQ4r which had very few patches installed, it was only up a couple of days and I got it updated with patches. Unfortunately, I had closed the barn gate too late. I seem to have aquired a hacker presence which used the
box for a mass attack.

As I have been traditionally using NT, I am not too familiar with the best route. Do you think I will need to reinstall the whole
OS. I would like to avoid this, if there is an easier route.

Thanks much for any / all suggestions,

John M. Pena

Hi John,

I think you'll find an overwhelming majority suggesting a fresh reload. Considering your expertise with the OS, you will find it exponentially time-saving!

I hope all goes well!
