Network Associates' Mcafee business unit has released a
stand alone tool to
remove
the nimda virus/worm. See this web page for more
information:
Obviously, existing anti-virus software DATs have also
been released.
Network Associates' Sniffer business unit has released
Sniffer filters to assist
with identifying
infected machines. There is even a way to set up an alert
to
send an email once the worm's signature traffic is
detected on a network.
See this web page for the filter and more
information:
I am
not authorized/~/able to answer software specific support questions--so
please
do not
contact me with those. :-) However, if I see a generic
question posted to
this
list about the worm that I can answer, I will do so...time permitting.
Thanks,
-BM

Yes, but this requires us to install the antivirus
software as well. Do you know any tools like FIX_NIMDA.EXE that can fix the
problem automatically without having to use the antivirus software?
I still haven't seen anything that cleans up the htm, html, asp,
etc files, but there are a few utilities that work fine for doing that
one.
What are the utilities? Where can I get them?
Norton Antivirus will clean most of the htm, html, asp, etc
files. http://www.symantec.com
Thank you for your
help.
Cheers.
