Mine hasn't been affected at all...

I also patched my server so I had no worries...

It only affects win2k running IIS or something stupid. They released a patch for it on windows update in mid june.

Read about it at www.nai.com. This is a low risk virus.

Not only that, but tis fully memory resident..Simply restart. And, all it does is scan for other 2000 IIS servers and then DDOS the governments homepage.....Now THAT is a virus I like! Heck, I'd almost LET it stay on my pc.....

My Mac got hit by that virus, it wiped out all of the Linux and then spread to the DOS emulation I was running under MacOS's Windows partition.



** Edit: I ain't scared of no viruses, I'm using a surge protector and a glare filter

Hey, VbBoy that's a good Idea run your webserver on a Mac and be immune to 90% virus' (what's the plural of virus?...viri?) Good thing Mac is known for thier servers....I'm definately gonna suggest this to the boss tomorrow.
