IMHO the problem isn't the virus it's windows admins. patches from M$ were available for months before all this started, but guess who is too lazy to download a patch and install it? i work for a hosting company so we have some client dedicated servers and they still haven't patched there servers. we email them, phone them and unplug there machine to get there attention and they promise to do it but never do. why? if you ask me it's cause windows makes you lazy, not enough text files to edit ;) ________________________________________ Robert MacLean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "LinuxNewbie (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 3:57 PM Subject: [newbie] These windows viruses(sp?) pain for linux users too... > > You know how these Code Red and Code Blue and Nimbda virus's are affecting > me as a linux user -- they are eating my bandwidth and trashing my weblogs. > I can't play UT tournament anymore because it's killing my response time and > connecting to the newserver and reading news has become painfully slow. > > If I open up port 80 on my firewall my weblogs are flooded with these > viruses.
