Woo-wee - where have you been ? An ongoing scan of your system is a *FACT OF
LIFE* for a system on the internet.
My dial-up gateway at home gets scanned !

No, anyone running an unpatched/unprotected IIS server on a public network
needs to fired, as their not doing their job. The patch was all over BugTraq
et al. well before Code Red was released.
But, if you look at the domains from which these scans originate, most have
no reverse look-up, or are from ISP's like @home <shrug> and those are just
the people who wont care, because Code Red version 2 is non destructive to
the local machine.
