Note that almost all W2K machines, the affected machines, have IIS installed
whether or not it is running. If you have friends let them know they are
infected. (No "ifs" involved by this date. I am getting as many as two hits
a minute here.) IF there is a c:\inetpub\scripts\root.exe file the friend
gets the dubious pleasure of downloading the security patch, reinstalling
with the network disconnected, installing the patch, and then reinstalling
the network cable(s) - and all the OTHER software. I have not heard of a
way to clean it off infected machines yet. (I have noticed you can do
*ANYTHING* you want on infected machines from a web server.)
