    I have a Windows 2003 Server. I notice that as I log in using remote desktop, a window (similar to an MIRC window) pops up and suddenly disappears. There hasnt been any anomalous activity on the server such as web-traffic or missing file, etc. I was wondering what could be causing that?

      Can you tell what the window's name is? ............................. There's nothing like the sound of incoming rifle and mortar rounds to cure the blues. No matter how down you are, you take an active and immediate interest in life. Fiat justitia, et ruat cælum

          In opinion, you windows might inffect with spyware. Normally windows do not cotain any specific application like the client. Try to increase your server security by: - Update the anti-virus definition. - Update the security patch or service pack from windows update website. - Download and install windows defender[^] in order to clean any virus in your server.
