I too was hit with the Nimda worm. I was able to resolve the issues on my web servers but I now have problems on individual pc running w98. Word and excel files will open at times, won't open at other times, will give me page faults referencing kernl32. Save and Save As work when they want to. The fix from Symantec is not working. Infected files keep reappearing after scans indicated they have been removed. I'm at a loss here.

delete the space between DE and FAULT5
or copy and paste the parts separately into your location window.

Greetings,

In addition to the suggestions on how to directly combat this virus, this TechRepublic article is a great source of information on that virus, and measures that can be taken to eradicate it and continue to protect against it. Instead of attempting to paste the article itself, I'll just post the link to it. (REMOVE SPACES that might have snuck into the pasted URL.)

Good luck,

Maxwell
