What are you using to detect virus/malware on the server?<br />
<br />
The truth is that most likely the server is compromised at a low level and probably needs to be flattened and reinstalled...that's the only true way to know that you got it.<br />
<br />
Put the data on a portable drive that you can scan with Malwarebytes or SuperAntiSpyware (or both) &nbsp; Once you know it's clean, you can copy back to the newly installed server

This gave me something to think about. It ended up being my current AV solutions definitions were out of date. A new AV scan caught &amp;&nbsp;cleared the issue.

Hello Experts,<br />

I can delete some of them, but several are read only.<br />
After i delete the ones i can they will respawn on there own.<br />

My guess is a virus but nothing is detected. <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
