Hi,

The file on my Win XP Pro SP2 PC called dmserver.dll - located here
c:\Windows\system32\dmserver.dll - has a virus according to my anti-virus
software and confirmed by virusscan.jotti.org where 5 of the AV checkers
showed a positive.

I've no idea how to restore a clean version of dmserver.dll can someone tell
me how please?

Extra important info.: Today I installed a new SATA hard disk and a SATA II
controller card for it. After installation I pointed the XP 'found new
hardware wizard' to the controller card's CD for the drivers, all seemed
fine until I went to Control Panel -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk
Management to format the new drive. It was when I tried to access Disk
Management that I first got the 'Virus Threat Detected' which meant I could
not load the Logical Disk Manager Service, which is the file dmserver.dll,
to format the hard disk.

Could this just be coincidence? An anti-virus scan of the controller card's
drivers CD resulted in 'no threats found'.

Please advise, I'm stuck. :(

Thanks and regards, etc..

That file IS the virus - or part thereof. Why would you want to replace it?

If you read my post you will see that dmserver.dll handles the Windows
Logical Disk Manager Service and since I need to format a new disk I need a
non-infected version of dmserver.dll.

And if you read my post there was specific information requested that you left
out.

That file is **NOT** part of a Vista install.

Again, why would you want to reload this problem file?
