    This worm is attacking fully patched servers.  I have made it through
    Code Red without any problems and this morning had this worm on a
    server.
    
    The only thing I can think of that may have made this machine
    vulnerable is that I did the Post SP6A rollup and did not re-apply
    the IIS Fix cumulative patch.  I have done that now.
    
    items that were placed on the server include:
    
    root.exe
    readme.eml
    a line of javascript in index.htm calling readme.exe.
    
    Fixes so far have been:
    
    remove *.eml
    remove root.exe
    delete java script line at end of Index.htm (all 321 of those files)

    I might also add, infected machines attempt a download of a
    readme.eml which 
    extracts to an .exe and starts in windows media player..
