OK no worm or virus I checked the metabase file in the in C:\WINNT\system32\inetsrv is missing I tried to install the service pack but its older than mind then it does'nt allow me to install it what can I do now???
Have you tried uninstalling IIS, removing everything from the ..\inetsrv directory and then reinstalling?

Oh dear it sounds like your OS is very ill. Did you archive your files when you installed service pack 4? If you did you could uninstall it and then reapply it.
Other than that I can't think of anything else other than a "Hit it with a big stick" reinstall OS approach.
Good Luck

OK this has been fixed the only problem left is when I get to pages with https then it can not display the pages any ideas???
Is your cert installed?
Is your port set to 443 in the sites properties?
Are trying to use HTTPS on >1 site?

ASKER
Yes the cert is installed and port 443 is activated and there is just this site running on 443 but what I can pull up on thhp crashes on https couls be a user should I add to the web folder to allow this??
So, HTTP works, but HTTPS does not?
That would not be permissions / user related if that is the case...
What is the error?

ASKER
because after the hack the only things messed up were premissions and user to the folder the error is:
athe page can not be displayed
athe page can not be displayed
ok, but HTTP uses the same permissions as HTTPS.
are there any scripts that redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS?
is the page on the web somewhere to look at?
that sounds like a config problem in IIS, not perms... have you tried recreating the problem site from scratch?

No firewall
1) Run a virus scan or run Blaster removal tool (From Symantec).
2) Reinstall service pack (3 or 4 for Win2000)
3) Install the MS security patches:Windows2000-KB8239
4) Then you will be able to remove your IIS component and then reinstall
