I've had a cure for Nimda since before it was out: http://www.redhat.com :p Seriously though; I would like to mention that relying on System Restore or whatnot would be just as dangerous as not cleaning a virus at all... many virii nowadays are time-bombs, sitting idle and slowly spreading for awhile until some preset or random date, then going boom. Using the 'system restore' features would simply reset the clock if you're restoring to a previous but still-dirty state. IOW - it's false hope, no matter what OS you're using. This is why most smart admins (even on *ix boxes) don't automatically restore their OS from tape backup, or won't bother with the XP (or IBM) "System Restore" feature. Instead, they'll rebuild the OS itself from scratch, restore config files that were backed up the hour they were first created (or last updated), test for integrity, and throughoughly rinse the user data with a known working virus checking routine before re-installing that. Sorry guys, it's just that all this hoopla about "system Restore" is nice for things you can catch instantly like a horked-up config or driver caused by user error or a corrupt download, but for virii and security breaches, it is 100% useless and IMHO a waste of disk space. /P
