sysreq2000,
Sound good!
I did a full scanned before posted my question, no virus infection from the sbs2003 box
i am thinking of manually remove or delete that file from the directory? what's your expert recommendation?
I did not saw a similar file like it on any other sbs2003 boxes.
thank you!

Jeff,
How're you?
it's good to hear from you and I was hoping you would jump in... and thanks!

Nivlesh
I will try it and get back to you on my report and result
thank you both for your comments - suggestions & patient...
deeply appreciated
----
here's the situation,
when i took over the responsible of this box. I done a scanned - cleaned and removed some low risk virus and also cleaned up the registry and that was months ago!
plus there wasn't any other issue and all and all, the box was healthy and still stand solidly...
----
last week - company has visitors in bound to make a inspection of their merchandises that they have requested wireless access. and there you go....!
----
After the virus scanned and detected virus named "infostealer.gampass" from the same box, I also found out there was this file named "nvrsma.dll" hiding under:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWA
and,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
----------
that was after NTBACKUP reported back that backup has failed even though all sizes are the same except one file couldn't copied due to "access denied"
Now... when I do a search and saw that the file still sitting in the same directory inside system32 folder. knowing ntbackup scheduler eventually will notify - send failure email alert once the backup scheduler is being running...
I can always follow "sysreq2000" 's recommendation to exclude it from backup tool & exclude. but that's not what I am asking here...
I can download & run any spywares application as "Nivlish" recommended except this is not a final solution for me and this company!
I can "googling","reading" all links offered which I've already done and familiar!
I have to make a decision of what's the best solution for this company & my question needed "solutions" in order to get the file remove - delete ONCE & for ALL!
Please note that I did NOT submitted my question and asking - putting any body's recipe into the ingredients on my own SOUP!
I only asked of a taste of your soup & from all experts and their opinions especially experiences to allow me to review, test & make a proper decision and move on to get this thing resolve!
Please forgive me if I offended EE as I was being frustrated but here at EE, I am 100% sure that I can always uses some or all of the suggestions - recommendations as I've received from those closed question in the past...
thanks

sysreq2000:
I've logged on as administrator and do an "exclude" file process but that doesn't seem to works?
maybe I done some thing wrong here!
do you have a specific instruction on this backup, tool exclude process you can post here?
thanks!

Haha...
I actually thought of that (when I surf through hidden (enable hidden file - folder) folder directory. You know what... it doesn't shown any! but that's an excellent point & suggestion, thanks!
Nivlesh,
One reason why i didn't want to perform / running any of those spywares - scan - cleaning program recommended (links) from all E.E.
they are "free" (some of them) and it could be another added on issue if it (they) doesn't run the way I expected...
I don't need any more trouble.
Jeff has indicated "safe mode" deletion and that was the only way & method I still want to try.
thank you, both!

Please note:
I didn't hear from sysreq2000 about backup/tool/exclude instance - instruction
I have made few changes to this SBS2003 backup process
1) disable original SBS Backup created under SMC / backup
2) run NTBACKUP and select "C" drive included SystemState
3) excluded "nvrsma.dll" from weekly backup scheduled
Plan to work this box on Sunday to remove - delete file from safe mode.

Jeff,
Not because you're my number one go to guy~!
but because I don't think it's SAFE to download anything that was for free and let those programs run a physical check on your Server!@
Well... maybe for mind at home (testing) but definitely not a good practice to to put a mice on my client's Server.
No way...
I shall get back to you on the safe mode task!
thank you!
