I've got CA's AMO installed on the machine, and I've just disabled the two
weekly tasks that it runs. I had a daily task that I installed which
rebooted the machine at 6:55 daily, which I put in place after the fault
started happening... that's been disabled. There is also a weekly batch file
which deletes the temporary internet files. I've changed this so it runs
daily, so I'll be able to see tomorrow if it's that at fault - but it
doesn't appear so as the task seems to finish OK.
I've just finished running a spyware checker (spykiller) and I've run an AV
scan (no viral activity). All it came back with was a series of cookies and
jpg images... so, I'm guessing that it's not going to be that then...
Hmmmm.

Just a thought:
Since this is happening routinely at a specific time on a specific day, I'd
look into any type of automated tasks that could be running also. You never
know what you may find.

It does sound like spyware to me as well. What is running on server
startup? As a stop gap/test, try using a hosts file to block external
ad/spy sites.
If it keeps your server up one day, using the hosts file may confirm this.
I've been getting mine from here:
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/get_hosts.html
But these sites are also nice linked.

Subject: [THIN] Windows 2k Terminal Server - Accessing Internet Problems
Hi,
Can anyone help me? I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Terminal
Services where every Monday between 7am and 8am its preventing my users from
accessing the internet. A reboot seems to solve it once it's happened, but a
reboot an hour before (6am) doesn't stop it from happening.
Short of running Snort on the server and some form of keylogger to see what
all the users are doing (which I don't think they'd be happy about), I'm
stumped as to what I can do next.
Any suggestions?
