Not only .exe files, also .CAB file for MS Office (the cab file is definitely changing).


I agree with you that it definitely seems like a virus--I do regular scans on the samba share from FreeBSD with the McAfee scanner, "uvscan" and it never turns anything up more than the occasional, mostly benign macro virus (we get in tons and tons and tons of word files from basically computer illiterate people ;) Most of the PC's in the office have virus scanners as well.

I downloaded ClamAV today and am currently doing a full scan of the samba share, but so far it's found nothing serious.

thanks much,
Scott

You've only seen corruption on files of .exe type, while you have data
files regularly being copied back and forth?  My first guess would be to
check and double check for a virus on any pc that has access to that
share.

There is an older Dos virus I've seen around that will mess up installers
and cause Windows to complain that that the file is not a valid Win32
Application, or some such error message.
