-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It might be discussable installing a - easily uninstallable - routine which send emails and (broadcast) messages to admin account accessible from the infected box, stating very clearly what to do 1) to get rid of the worm 2) to get rid of that utility afterwards. But surely not another virus. The only correct way IMHO is to shut of the access to the networks for offenders. Via the direct ISP or the upstreams. This has been done before, and this works.

That probably holds true for a lot of people.I absolutely understand your concerns. Personally I wouldn't want anyone else to execute code on my machines either but a patch has been available for months now. Every admin who cares about her systems has already fixed them ( I'm aware that it may be difficult to apply patches in some cases because they might break other stuff but after over two months such problems should be solved). The others who didn't care about Code Red are very likely not to care about Code Green / CRclean either, yet they're still causing problems for the community. regards, Markus Kern
