Spent 6 hours today trying to wrestle a virus and spyware infected WindowsXP box with a mangled ColdFusion setup back into a working state so I can fix a programming bug. I knew I was in trouble the moment I saw that the only login was administrator and the password was the computers network name.

I nuked enough of the malware out of the way to get the machine usuable, before spending several hours putzing with the arcana of IIS setup and Coldfusion configuration. Eventually I realized the whole thing was hosed, and scoured Coldfusion off the box and re-installed. That got me back to a working setup, and tomorrow I can start addressing the programming bug.
