RE:WIN32.NIMDA
Hey everyone:
I can't seem to delete all of the infected files from the nimda virus. I have been able to quarantine them and then I ran a fix for the virus that finally seemed to get rid of all infected files. My problem is that every so many days. i get the virus again. Is there something that is causing me to keep gettin this virus. Shouldn't my anti-virus software prevent it?

Hello! There are a couple different viruses that start with W32.NIMDA. If it is either the A@MM or the E@MM, for both of these there is a removal tool that you can download from Symantec (Norton) to remove the virus. If it is one of the others, there are instructions posted under each name on how to remove that particular virus.
Go to www.symantec.com then click on Virus Encyclopedia, then click on "W", then scroll through this page until you see the virus name for the one you have, then click on that one, to go to the page that gives information on getting rid of that particular virus.

When you had Nimda, it could have "Phoned Home" when you were online, and now when you get rid of it...it comes back on port 80. Check this document... http://www.dshield.org/ports/port80.html
Might want to go pick up a firewall at the closest software supply store, or you can get a free one here...

Zone Alarm is a good firewall. I run it, and it seems to catch everything.
