This TechAlert is to inform you of the circumstances and/or conditions under which this problem could occur and to provide the remedy for it. This alert was generated because product quality and customer responsiveness are consistent VERITAS Software hallmarks. While initial indications are that this worm is not likely to directly threaten your data, any issues that could potentially affect your data, no matter how rare, are viewed as extremely serious. This worm can affect any server running Microsoft SQL and/or Microsoft MSDE 2000 components. Backup Exec for Windows 9.0 servers may be susceptible as it includes MSDE 2000 components with the installation that are affected by this virus. This issue may be resolved by running the Microsoft patch identified in the link below. The Microsoft patch will work with the version of MSDE included with Backup Exec 9.0. SQL 2000 and other installations of MSDE may require additional patches. For more information, refer to the documentation accompanying the Microsoft patch which can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/Release.asp?ReleaseID=40602 It will be necessary to reboot after this patch is installed.
