I have a share set up on one of our PC's that's set to have Everyone as
Full Controll.  The idea being that if we get any Virus's that propogate to
network shares, we'll know about it.  I want to write a batch file that
checks the Directory periodically (I'll use task scheduler) and, if it
finds a file in there, does a NET SEND to my PC so I know something could
be wrong.

I've tried a few things so far, but the one I'm working on at the moment is
this (NT4, SP6 btw) - Prior to running the batch file, I've created a text
file from "dir > testdir-clean.txt" that is basically the test
directory with no files in it (i.e. "Clean"):

*****Start of Batch File*****

dir c:\testdir > testdir-current.txt fc /L c:\testdir-clean.txt
c:\testdir-current.txt

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO _POSSVIRUS

IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO _NOVIRUS

:_POSSVIRUS
NET SEND mypcname File detected
EXIT

:_NOVIRUS
EXIT

*****End Of batch File*****

So, "fc" is file compare and "/L" compares the files as
ASCII text.  The idea being that if it detects a difference, then another
file is present in the directory.  I'm not 100% certain on the use of the
ERRORLEVEL section though and this is the bit that doesn't seem to be
working atm - any ideas?

Cheers,
Chris.
