I'm Code Red free... Are you?

Post #3,211 by inthane-chan 7/31/01 10:37:17 AM Reply	I'm Code Red free... Are you? I sat down and verified last night that my sole windows PC did not even have IIS running on it, and gee willikers, it didn't. In any case, I have verified that the PC does not have the Code Red worm on it, and if you have any Windows PCs, I suggest you do the same. [link\|http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/itsolutions/security/topics/codealrt.asp\|http://www.microsof...codealrt.asp] is MS's web page for the Code Red worm. I know most of you don't even need to check, but there might be a couple of us who need to look, and who knows? Maybe even one of us has been infected. There's still ~200,000 machines running the Code Red worm out there. Do your part to make the internet safer! (If you wanted to do your part, stop running Microsoft products - I'm trying, but I've got such weird hw configurations that nothing can detect it. :P)

Then it has to get pass OS/2 and PMMail/2, which no WinVirus has ever done, yet. So, to put it simply, all this talk about Code Red makes me yawn. The only inkling I have that it's out there are the IPs that are listed in my log files as trying to connect to my box.

Then for about a week, infected computers inundate the White House Web site with data in an attempt to knock it off-line. Code Red then remains inactive until the following month. What the....???? Has anyone ever heard of a Code Red soft drink? French Zombies are zapping me with lasers!
