NIS has blocked about 20 inbound sub7 attacks in the past couple hours...has this beast respawned or are people just not protected?

thats what I thought, but NIS keeps popping up telling me that it blocked an intrusion attempt...weird since EVERY virus scan out there protects against this...

So people don't install virus scans and/or remove them after they are installed. Trust me, I'm a tech at a university, and I have to go fix prof's computers when this sort of sh!t happens
 
Sub7 is still a HIGHLY effective tool. As is Bo2k. The two most common and simplistic trojans in the history of mandkind. Sad, ain't it?
