Hi, all
Sorry for my english
I'm returning to this list after a time out.

I had the same situation, a month ago, but in my case, the server was 
invaded.
I can't remove only one file, and I have the root of the server.

To solve, reinstall the server, only this, but I want to know the 
correct answer too..

Thanks.
Eduardo
