    Nothing to do with code red, or it would be root.exe, or
    /c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe.
    
    That one is (I believe):
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2708
    
    Note that it is only about a month older than the hole Code Red uses, so
    the number of hosts that were vulnerable to this hole before Code Red
    (which drove everyone to install all the patches, right? Sure.)  is
    probably just slightly less than the number vulnerable to Code Red.
