Thanks for the suggestion.  I spent all day Yesterday reformatting my
machine.  Of course, I still don't know how it got through.  I had
Zonealarm and Norton AntiVirus running.

Reformat the machine.

I'M NOT KIDDING.  The recommended way to recover from a Nimda comprimise
is to reformat reinstall.  Once Nimda has infected IIS, it will most
likely have infected your mmc.exe, riched20.dll, and a whole lot of
other stuff.  Guest is most likely now an administrator of your box.
Look at your shared drives - you'll notice they are open with full write
to all network users.

You were most likely infected because you did not code-red patch your
IIS.  Nimda initiated a malformed tftp request and sent the admin.dll
file into some dir on your webserver.  Then your webserver infected your
whole computer.  Disconnect it from the network immediately.  It is
scanning the local network for open shares and spitting out those eml
files like crazy.  Sorry, but you're pretty much screwed.  If the data
is important, pull the hard drive out and put it in another computer
that has the latest and greatest in virus protection.

I went on travel this past weekend only to return and find my computer
was infected with three types of Nimda viruses.  Specifically, they are

        1. W32.Nimda.A@mm (dll) virus.
        2. W32.Nimda.E@mm (dr) virus.
        3. W32.Nimda.A@mm (dr) virus.

42 files were infected.  18 files were in C:\Inetpub\scripts\ and were
all named like...

C:\Inetpub\scripts\TFTP860
C:\Inetpub\scripts\TFTP952


I have no idea where these files came from.  18 other files came from
C:\WINNT\Temp\ and were all named like...

C:\WINNT\Temp\mep914.tmp.exe
C:\WINNT\Temp\mep916.tmp.exe


Again, I have no idea where these came from.  Finally, four files that I
would have thought would have been installed in a different directory
were...

C:\Admin.dll
C:\httpodbc.dll
D:\Admin.dll
D:\httpodbc.dll

Norton Antivirus could not repair them.  They have all been quarantined.
What happened?  I was going to anyways uninstall IIS5 from the C: drive
and install it on the D: drive.  Will this fix any potential problems my
computer may have down the road.  Is this false reporting on Norton's
part?

Please enlighten me! :)
