Server 2003 and workgroup wierd virus.., I've never come across this and need help re

Hello,

I’ve been having a weird problem with the server and the workgroup computers. It seems that all of them are infected with the same virus. However, no VP software can pick it up and I haven't come across something like this before. Here is what is happening (across the board, even the server as well):

1. When you try to access any network drive it asks you to select a program like it would an unknown file type. (I wrote a batch file that launches the network drive in explorer for the office personnel to get around for the time being).
2. The year is set back to 2000
3. After a time period no applications can be accessed, similar to the activation wizard lockout procedure but the start menu can still be accessed.(you can't even create a new tab in explorer, right click also disabled)


ummmm?

P.S. //ip127.cn[ is also registering on everyone's computer... I know that this is a known problem. I have removed it and I do not think it's the cause of these problems... However, I may be wrong...

Thanks,
Christopher Kaelin

Thanks but I already corrected the issue.. I identified the worm as WORM_GEXIN.D, looked in my virus protection's "virus encyclepedia", reviewed the removal method (which envolved starting in safemode and correcting the registery). I then shut down my switchboards and went computer by computer following the procedure and following up with a virus scan.... In the end all was good..
