I am logging in as administrator to my NT Server (SP6A 128) Dr.Watson comes up indicating a access violation with explorer.exe. This continues to popup every few seconds. As this happens there are numorous files eg:mep2eb.temp.exe that come up on the root of the drive. Has anyone seen this before.

This is a brand new virus. Symantec just posted the notice about it today, Sept 18. This is the W32.Nimda.A@mm virus.
Here is a link to Symantec's web site about this virus:

You had better fix your box now. The damage is not all that bad (replaces some files, does e-mailing of itself as well as moving across network shares).

Good luck
