But I did figure out that the script creates a Z: drive share of my C: drive (using the FileSystemObject) then does some stuff to it. Anyone interested in looking at the Vbs file, let me know and I'll email it to you. I'd be interested in hearing what the script does exactly. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it appears the script kiddie who performed this was smart enough to spoof his IP so I couldn't track him down.

Do you have any idea of what approach they would have used to break thru the firewall?

More and more, companies are installing those firewall boxes and it's kind of scary to hear something like that.
