I believe code-I affects Windows NT. Microsoft has a patch for it on their site.

One of the recent announcements about Code Red II says that due to a bug the worm only infects Windows 2000. It says the same is true for the original versions of Code Red.

If I am following things:

   Both Windows 2000 and Windows NT are vulnerable to the IIS
   buffer overflow problem.

   Only Windows 2000 is infected by the Code Red Worm I and II (so far).

   Windows NT is not infected by the Code Red Worm I or II.

Is this really the case?
