[Preston] Linux anti virus

[John C]

Unfortunately they cannot tell me anything except that there is an apache virus coming out of my server. I cannot think of any other way it can propagate except via email.
The server does not allow relaying.
It is merely the fact that I was told that it is 'an apache virus' that is giving me cause for concern. Being a reponsible person I am reluctant to re-connect the server to see if it is still sending out a virus.
I do know that the server has been hacked by looking at my httpd.conf file. It has been changed.
