Nimda.E?

[loobyloo5273]

My computer keeps re-booting due to Windows Explorer
encountering a problem and having to close (on Windows
XP). I have looked the error code up on Microsoft and
the explanation it gives is that I most probably have a
virus called Nimda.E or Nimda.A. I have tried a couple
of removal tools from Symantec which both stated there
were no signs of the virus on my PC. What do I do now?

Have you checked for spyware/malware seeing as you don't have a virus?

Search for Nimda removal tools on Microsoft web sites and then use them to remove the virus.

After that enable the firewall and update your computer with all the latest patches.

I've got Spybot but I will try the others.

Much obliged for your help.

and everything but My PC is still rebooting automatically.
