Hey, I'm hosting some people now and i'm looking for some protection against php shells, it's a windows xp box

NTFS permissions are the first line. Then the next is to disable php :D

isn't there something like a virusscanner that detects them

Just wondering, why are you hosting on Windows XP?

Same question here :P

You're not going to be able to completely secure a Windows XP hosting platform against PHP shells and other PHP command execution scripts.

ur telling me i should remove everything and download win2k3 server ? and if i installed that there isn't any good server control panel or anything that's free, or is there ?

I'd go with FreeBSD and webmin if you don't need any windows specific apps. that is. :)

Well for a start hosting on XP is breaking the licence agreement, secondly XP is limited to 10 concurrent incoming connections, so if more than 10 people try to access your sites at once, then they will get there connection refused.
