I am finding more and more missing files and several services stop and refuse
to run. I have norton AV running on every computer and server. Is there
anything running around that this app can't detect?

It still may be something else, just seem to be moving around and some days
better than others.

Any help would be great.

Missing files are typically due to "fatal finger"... folks dragging
files under the folder of another folder.

What services are stopping and refusing to run?

Let's see exactly what services before we go to the next step of
investigation.

Thank you for your rapid response. I first suspected the "fatal finger" (I
like that), but we have seen files disappear during periods of inactivity.
But right now that is only a nuisance.... This morning I came in and nobody
can browse, or use any network devices (network printers work, but not shared
ones), Internet and mail work. My log files are huge, and I would be fine
with forwarding copies to you, but here is just the summary report I was
greated with this morning.

You have 3,240 event 675s?

What IP address is 192.168.1.71?

Okay for the fatal finger we can turn on object auditing...but you have
a lot of critical errors... I think I'm going to kick you to
1-866-pcsafety but before I do, let's go down the list....

I'm not quite concerned about 8026 as that typically occurs after a
reboot...did you reboot? Same with 2102.

The backup failure IS an issue and we'll need to deal with that after
this issue.....

But those security logs are a concern.... can you ping me directly to
give you more explicit instructions that I don't want to post here?
