Reformat your harddrive. None of the nimda removal tools fix windows registry. If your computer is behaving oddly, who knows what it is up to. The ONLY safe thing to do is reformat the drive.

First, run the nimda fixes that have already been posted in this forum.

Then, to fix the registry, from the Run menu, type:

scanregw /opt /fix

(be sure to include the spaces since this is a DOS command).

It's worth a shot before you haveto reformat!

Hope it helps.

Symantec.com under tolls & downloads has put out a new updated remove nimda worm tool that will fix your registry problems. I also know that it works. I had two computers receive the worm and ran it it worked. As soon as you run the tool update whatever antivirus program you have to update the definitions. I hope that this helps!
