Upgrading IE detects Nimda ?

Hi there, I've just finished cleaning up some Windows 98 (and 98 SE) workstations from infection by Nimda. On a couple of the machines I found I could not upgrade Internet Explorer - the install fell over with a message about a previous installation not completing, and that I would need to restart the machine. No matter how many times the machines were rebooted I could not get IE5.5+SP2 to install. However, realising some stupidity on my part (it's been a long day :) I spotted these machine were still infected by Nimda. After removing the relevant files and config changes I found IE5.5+SP2 installed ok.
