Don --
Sorry to hear of your problem. For everyone here is the easy way to avoid this virus. Don't use a Microsoft product to surf the web or read your mail! Notice this:
>Nimda -- Admin backwards -- only infects computers running a
>Microsoft operating system and Microsoft's e-mail, Web browser or
>Web server applications.
If you surf using Netscape or Opera you won't pick this up from visiting a web page. If you use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express to read your mail I would turn them off before surfing the web. And let Microsoft know you tired of these viruses infecting your system every other week.
I ran a report on our sites on the last Microsoft "virus", CodeRed. It was really bogging things down. Not infecting anything just all the attempts to infect our server.
