This morning I found a wwwhack window opened on one of my w2k servers,
antivirus agent was deleted (TrendMicro) and when I reinstall it back, it
found about 4500 viruses named PE_PARITE.B

Now the virus is still regenerating itself creating files on winnt\temp
folder, I saw the task list and stopped all the suspicious process, but
the virus still goes on...

The virus/hacker created a folder named RADMIN, where he copied these
files:
r_server.exe
admdll.dll
hide.reg
raddrv.dll
pro.bat
start.bat

Does anyone knows how to remove this virus and avoid this hack
vulnerability?

First of all, RADMIN is most obviously "Remote Admin", which means he left
himself a backdoor.

My hints - get your data off that server, and completely reinstall the machine.

Note that the virus makes a DLL that attaches itself to the Explorer process,
which means that you effectively cannot see the virus's process in the task manager.

Also, the virus spreads by exe/scr files, so be careful. To avoid being hacked
again, find out how the hacker got in - possibly through the software being run
on the server.
