1. Please check whether the nodes "W3SVC" and "W3SVC/1" exist in your
current metabase.xml.
2. Also, on the commandline, run:
CSCRIPT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs enum w3svc/1/root
Please report what happens.

Unfortunatly there are no backup files in history folder before the issue
started, there is a backup file in the inetserv\backup folder but don't know
how to restore that.
We can conclude that metabase is OK, IISadmin, smtp and FTP runs fine, I ave
run Mcafee stinger to detect trojans running but it found nothing.
3rd party tools are uninstalled: Perl, AWstats.
URLscan 2.5 is uninstalled.
No other service is trying to listen to port 80.
When trying to start WWW in services, the following error appears:
Windows could not start the World Wide Web Publishing Service on Local
Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a
non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to
service-specific error code -2147467262.
and the eventlog messages mentioned in 1st post of this thread..
Last thing I remember that I did before the issue started, I upgraded MBSA
1.1 to 1.2.
Then I ran the security analyzer and set it to scan local machine, it seemed
to hang after that. I kept it running hoping it would go on, then I forgot
all about it (afteral it was weekend) that night the probems started.
I hope this extra information gives someone an idea what might be the issue.
Thanks for your time,
Steven Bink
