Good..now you need to back up your DATA files only, Then FDISK and
format,and reinstall the OS and all programs on your machine.

Turning up the level for Zone Alarm won't help ya now I'm afraid.

Has anyone see a hacker attack or virus that deletes all shortcuts in
Windows (including ones in backup directories)? Thanks for any help!

I may have had a hacker attack over the weekend. I lost all my shortcuts
from my desktop and menus. The directories are all dated as updated
5/5/01 around 6:30am. There is also a SQL server event in the Windows NT
event log running the sp xp_cmdshell at that time, so perhaps that is
how they got in. (I had a personal SQL Server service running on my NT
Workstation.

I also got new directories \china,\hacker and \godwill on my C drive.

I have done a full virus scan and turned up the zonealarm level on
internet access. I stopped SQL Server running.
