    i get the same message when i run virusses scanns but its impossible for my servers to get viruses as our datacenter has the highest level firewalls available on the market so i just think that its suspitious system activity.

    The trojan scanner in notorious for throwing up false positives. If you do ao quick search on the forums then you can find a lot of threads regarding this topic. However, although likly this doesn't mean that they are not trojans. if you are worried about these then you should run one or both of these programs:

    http://www.rootkit.nl/
    http://www.chkrootkit.org/

    Also, mxweb, you should not rely upon a single security measure like a firewall to keep your server secure. No single security mesure will ever do this for you. If you are worried about security, which you should be, then you could do a lot worse than starting with the measures listed here:
