Do i have the new Virus?

Ok.....there is a new virus spreadening all over the world and its called "Nimda".......It uses Outlook express to deliver itself.....
A couple of days ago i noticed that i had 2 outlook express docs on my Desktop.......i didnt klick them...now outlook express starts everytime i start windows...and the files are everywhere...in my mixmeister map and so on........

I read the info about the virus and they say that its used to crash systems....i havent crashed yet......And i dont use outlook express so i havent opened any mail there either...but they also said that some webpages may be infected.....so if you visit them you get infected..... I already planned to format my comp in 2 weeks when i get my new 40 gb hardrive....so i could move the mp3s and stuff there.....but now im afraid of loosing all my trancemusic just because of this....anyone know if i have the virus?

I got an email from freeserve about this, the recomend just keeping your visur checker upto date, and run it, it should b picked up, otherwise there are some good online virus checkers, or get some free trials, if u just need it for this

I�ve had the virus too, but since I`m running Win2k with Service Pack 2 it wasn`t active. Just the admin.dll was found.

I`ll attach a fix for the virus here. You have to unpack the cleaner in one folder and run it from dos promt. Worked for me!

Cheers.

No need for credit. Thanx a lot. Got the file from a friend of mine myself, so he should get the credit if anyone...

Just wanted to be sure everyone is safe from this dangerous virus!

Cheers!
