This worm was found on September 18th, 2001. It quickly spread around the
world. Nimda is a complex virus with a mass mailing worm component which
spreads itself in attachments named README.EXE. If affects Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 users.
Nimda is the first worm to modify existing web sites to start offering
infected files for download. Also it is the first worm to use normal end
user machines to scan for vulnerable web sites. This technique enables Nimda
to easily reach intranet web sites located behind firewalls - some worms
such as Code Red couldn't directly do. Nimda uses the Unicode exploit to
infect IIS web servers. This hole can be closed with a Microsoft patch,
downloadable from:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms00-078.asp
The MIME exploit used by the worm can be fixed with this patch:

Check your system for open ports. Very complete tests. The most reliable one
I know.
http://scan.sygatetech.com/
To check open ports https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
http://grc.com/UnPnP/UnPnP.htm
That is for information on the Microsoft Universal Plug and Play service and
download of the program that allows you to disable it. That feature being
enabled MIGHT TURN YOUR PC INTO A SERVER
This is to test your ports status. https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
If u have port 5000 open, please go to the 1st URL, download the program,
run it and disable that feature.
That feature is enabled at least on XP, ME and 98
NoShare and LetShare are terrific solutions for quickly, easily, and
reversibly disabling and enabling NetBIOS resource sharing.
When you are sharing NetBios resources, you are not fully protected, for you
can still be hacked. You can download these disabling and enabling NetBios
resource sharing files at http://grc.com/faq-shieldsup.htm#139
Windows XP users DO NOT download and install No Share file!!! Disabling
NetBIOS resource sharing cannot be done by using this tiny program. If you
install this file on XP you are going to need the Let Share file installed
to reverse this disabling. If you already rebooted your pc...it's too late
and you are going to have to format and reinstall Windows XP.
Best thing to do is download both programs, just in case. I had my ISP
"knocking on my door" all the time on NetBIOS, haven't seen them in 2
months. Now they try UDP on random ports, Sygate takes care of them.
Also important...I'm not sure if No Share can be used on NT and 2000. On 95,
98, 98 SE and ME it can and works great. I'm on ME, cable connection, have
no complaints. NetBIOS is safe.
Test if your firewall is safe of it is leaking in terms of security
http://grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm
