Alright, I've dealt with Nimda (A,E) before and I managed to totally remove them from my system. Just a few days ago, guess what? Yep, damn .eml files flying all over my computer like the world was ending. I've tried everything in my arsenal to remove all instances of the eml's, but I always receive a "file cannot be scanned" declaration. So far, I've tried bot of Symantec's tools, Panda's tool, some other tools. System Restore is off, IIS is disabled, I'm properly patched, yet I can't get rid of Nimda. Any suggestions? And oh yeah, if the guy who dreamt up and wrote Nimda ever reads this,I hope you die a horrible death full of fire, smoke, acid, electrocution and last but not least, little flesh eating microbes that make thousands of copies of itself and swarm your body...I'll call them ".eml nanos"

Have you tried McAfee Stinger? Link for it on my homepage(above). Are you running them in safe mode? Instructions for safe mode also on my homepage under the tips link. Also, the best security tool is prevention...it sounds like you might not have any antivirus programs installed...there's a few there as well(Completely free ones).

Yeah, I've tried Stinger as well as probably 6 or 7 other standalone Nimda tools that I've found. They all say that "Nimda was not found on this computer". Well, if it's not on my computer, then why are 5,000 .eml files propagating through my whole file hierarchy? I think you may have hit the nail on the head though, I haven't used them in safe mode, which surprised me because I'm normally not that stupid (I guess I'm just tired, having a 1 year old does that to you). I'll /kill right now and boot in safe mode. Thanks for the reply that somehow kicked my brain back into gear.

Safe Mode...always ....or clean the drive in another system .
