You may not have correctly removed or cleaned the virus. There are several variations of nimda. If you go to the link below you will get all the info you need for cleaning your system of any of them.

Probably, the virus has been removed, but one or more
of the destroyed files must be reinstalled : File
RICHED20.DLL may be missing. Another link :

Had nimda myself and agree with above advice fully. The datafellows site (F-Secure) is especially useful. Symantec's free removal tool (fixnimda.com) worked well for me.

Also, to prevent further contamination take a look at Fixfiles_beta.zip from MOOSOFT.

as to access, excerpted from F-Secure Info

..Remove all shares from all local hard drives and renew these shares with correct access rights if needed. This needs to be done because the worm affects shares security. Especially the \\localhost\c$ share rights..

Remove "Guest" account and renew it with correct access rights and group placement ("guest" account should not be in "Administrator's" group)

MKB patch

Good Luck from fellow sufferer
