I also had a similar situation (less workstations infected, though). First,
try to patch all the mashines, with the help of hotfix scanning tool from
Shavlik/Microsoft:

S/nshc32.exe

Then you should try nimdascn.exe from McAfee (this is the only one that
completely cleaned my machines):

daScn

This combination helped me, can't say it's 100% the best, but it's worth a
try.

Wish you luck,

Subject: Help with Nimda.E?


Hello all,

I haven't determined how yet, but one system on my dmz was unpatched.  Of
course, it got hit by Nimda.e.  This new variant is now propagating like
mad
through the shares.

Given the nature of the environment, I am having trouble containing and
removing it.  Any suggestions?  I have 50+ NT/2k servers on the dmz LAN.
There is a master domain that all other domains trust.  Servers in each
domain require shares to function.  Permissions are highly entangled.  All
servers (but one apparently) are patched against the IIS vulnerability,
but
the shares remain open.

I have tried Symantec's new scanner and the web A/V tool at antivirus.com,
but neither seem to get it all.  As soon as someone logs in to the "clean"
box, snort detects outbound attacks.  I am shutting down all non-essential
systems, but some are going to have to keep running.

Please contact me off list for more details or on list with solutions.

Thanks,
Matt
