A key component of the SQL Server software, called "Microsoft SQL Server
2000 Desktop Engine," is particularly vulnerable to the malicious
computer worm, which quickly propagates itself and seeks out other
systems to infect. 

Since MSDE is deployed not only in SQL software but in other programs
used for software development, such as Visual Studio .NET and Office XP
Developer Edition, it could spread beyond the database servers, Charney
said.
