My box got compromised (W2K server).

Indeed, it was so bad, that it took me about four attempts before I could download the necessary security patches to fix the problem. The spam software - which I didn't know what it was although I knew something was wrong - was pinching nearly all available cpu and bandwidth so the system had nothing left to download the patches with :-(

Cheers,
Wol
