    On an NT4 / Exchange 5.5 server there are now 1048 folders in the winnt folder (wfv10 ... wfv1167) - They seem to be either empty or have exchng3.cab - part of the exchange client (pre outlook thing)

    Just out of curiousity & so I can avoid other products of the offending company again (IMHO 1048 spurious folders on the system drive IS a denial of service attack )

    I think it's to do with network associates antivirus (which has been removed because they did not fix their management agent and upgrade problems before they doubled the renewal price...)

    That sounded familiar as soon as I read your description there.
    Have a look at this: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/230308.htm
    "When performing a virus scan with Backup Exec for Windows NT and Windows 2000, \wfv directories are created in the system directory with incrementing numbers."
