My dad's small network got infected with the NIMDA virus. We got it cleaned off, but he's still having problems. What alerted him to the fact that something was wrong in the first place was that he was losing hard drive space....like a few GB in a week. Well it turns out that the tmp files in the printer spool weren't being deleted by the system. Every time he would send a print job, the files would remain on the system taking up anywhere from a kew KB for several MB each.

Now that the virus is gone, he is still having this problem. The documentation I have read on this virus doesn't say anything about this....anybody got any clue about how to fix this without a complete reinstall?
