Gary, I don;t think nimda infects in that fashoin, but, the code red variants do for sure. best bet against such is keeping all the systems up to date on patches and anti-viri SW as far as I know, though, you can filter on the code red sigs to prevent the traffic coming in.

Just a quick question on SSL. If I allow SSL outbound, and a user browses a web site that is corrupt with something harmful like NIMDA, is it possible that they will infect my network... and will the firewall not pass it along without checking? If true, how can I combat this? Is there a product that will stop the packets and inspect them before being returned to the requester? _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://list.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
