The aggressive Nimda virus/worm has caused widespread site shutdowns and Internet service interruption, but according to security experts, the real cost of this hacker attack--which uses four different known vulnerabilities in Microsoft's IIS Web server--will come during the eradication phase. To aid in this effort, Winternals Software is offering a utility that will help eliminate the Nimda virus/worm on Windows 2000/NT systems without requiring the system to be wiped out first. The company's NTFSDOS Professional works with leading virus scanners to clean and repair systems attacked by Nimda.
