Win 2K server O/S...

Norton regularly finds viruses in files contained in various shared folders
on the server this folder, according
to the Server Application Event Log. A sample entry looks like this, but
there are many others in other folders on the server...

"

Virus Found!Virus name: W32.Netsky.P@mm in File:
F:\SHARDATA\2003\GlobalSCAPE\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP Pro\Windows XP crack.exe
by: Manual scan. Action: Clean failed : Leave Alone succeeded :


"
The files appear to be file-sharing type files based on their names. They
are porn files, bootlegged applications that we don't use and don't own,
etc. We run Norton on all our workstations but someone seems to be infected
with something. We also run AdAware and SpyBot - they don't find anything .



Any thoughts?
