Run an anti-virus scan on both computers. Isolate that computer from the network so it may not infect other computers.

Is it possible to scan all the computers on your network? Isolate the computer in question, and take the server offline for a while for the scanning. Follow these directions on the isolated computer when you have taken that one off the network:

Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) and save it to your Desktop.

Close all other windows before proceeding.
Double-click on dss.exe and follow the prompts.
When it has finished, dss will open two Notepads main.txt and extra.txt -- please copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply.

Step2

After you finish that, run this online scan on the server and post the new contents here in an attachment:
