Go to http://www.incidents.org/react/nimbaprint.php
and digest what it has to say there.
Then visit http://www.microsoft.com/security
and follow the Nimba link.
Digest well. Panic. Have a cup of coffee and then devise
a sensible plan to roll out all those updates and patches
you never got around to deploying.
Basically, get a disinfect tool from your friendly AntiVirus
vendor, and use it on infected machines.
Apply SP6A, post SP6A securtity rollup [1], cumulative IIS patches [2]
to NT 4 machines, SP2 to Win2K machines and IIS 5 patches.
Make sure all desktops are fully patched and running IE 5.5SP2 or later...
[1] Post-Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a Security Rollup Package (SRP)

[2] Cumulative Patch for IIS
