Amy & All,

It probably was. My web log shows *thousands* of attempts by the latest worm > to infect me. Dan relies on ASP, so he's more vulnerable to these kinds of
attacks.

I hope people start billing Microsoft for this crap. I'm microsoft-free, and
their shoddy software can still kill my site with the volume of traffic these
worms create.

Well, we can always jump on the Anti-Microsoft bandwagon (And they should
have fixed this as well, don't get me wrong here), but shouldn't there be
blame  pointed at the people who write these worms as well?
