I don't know if Eeye put out a new tool since Friday, but I used a tool they
had put out on my network, and ended up getting false positives from said
tool. I spent hours checking into 19 workstations to find that all were
safe and sound. It was scary, so don't count on everything you find out
there.

Here's a tool from eEye. McAfee has a tool as well.

The virus checker we ran on the readme.exe file called it Nimda.
Unless we got hit with multiple virii at the same time. That is why I
thought it might be a new strain. I sent the files to McAfee for analysis
already.

What makes you think it is Nimda in the first place?
Your symptoms sound nothing like it at all.

First alert, Maybe nothing.
We just had our developer machines, running NT2000 Server hit with
Nimda.
The strange thing is, we have Nimda protection in our email scanner, and
all the security fixes MS said should be applied. SP2 is installed.
The machines boot up, a log in screen displays, and they login. The
Novell login script begins to run as normal ( we run mixed network, NT
and Novell), then the login script box clears as normal, a blue screen
appears as normal, and nothing further happens.
Could this be a new strain?
