Actually, it's not a removal tool.  That's just a program to update your DAT
files if you have McAfee virus scanner.

McAfee/NAI has a removal tool:

Please forgive the cross-post.

I am at a client site.  Win2k without SP2 is infected.  NT4 without 
IIS or an email client installed has not been affected.  Fortunately, 
that is the server containing payroll.

If anyone has developed or heard of a removal tool, I would love to 
hear about it.

So far, I have seen McAfee, Sophos, and F-Secure post definitions for 
this virus.

It infects 98 (I've got it on the one 98 workstation we run) and may 
have been involved in infecting two of NT4 servers.

I also have two UNinfected NT4 servers that are patched to about the 
same level as the infected ones - not quite completely patched, but I 
think I've selected all the appropriate ones for the role each server 
plays.

My W2K server is patched up to the minute and didn't get infected.  So 
far...
