I downloaded a full backup of my website last night, and my antivirus program yelled at me, saying the archive file had the Netsky virus in it.

Any ideas for removing it?

I think I found the problem... very strange.

 

It seems that every mailbox for all the mail accounts I have on my domain are duplicated... there's the regular mail hierachy for mailboxes, but then there are sub-mailboxes under the alanv.org hieracrhy with the exact same names. There's messages stuck in these boxes since Outlook can't reach them and only downloads from the ones at the top of the hierarchy. There were a few emails in there with attachments, which I assume were viral.

 

Ex: My /mail/ has folders for all the inboxes of my accounts, but it also has a /mail/alanv.org folder, under which all the mailboxes appear again (/mail/alanv.org/gilder, /mail/alanv.org/junk, etc)

 

Any idea why cpanel would do this? Or do I have to go in every month and check all these mailboxes?

 

Edit: And are these sub-boxes safe to delete through file manager?

... or is it the other way around? O.o

Maybe its that inboxes in the base directory can't be reached... only boxes under the /mail/alanv.org/mailboxname ?
