Re: netbuie.exe, scorpionsearch.com and fastcounter.bcentral.com

David, 

What other info can you provide about this?  Do you
know how this file got on the box?  What other
services are running?  Are there any other files
associated with this?

I ask b/c I teach an incident response course for 2K,
and I'm always interested in seeing actual
compromises...it helps me tailor my approach and
recommendations.  

For example, I assume you found the sites the file was
hitting based on IDS or firewall logs...right?  What
else have you done?  Have you checked the filesystem
for other new files?  What about processes, network
connections, etc?

I'd also like to ask that if it isn't too much
trouble, could you zip up and send me a copy of that
file, and any other files associated with it?  I'd
like to take a look at it.

Thanks.
