Code Red died, and CodeRed II had a built in expiration of October 1. Which is to say it will not start new processes after that date. by now, it should be dead, or at least by the end of the weekend.
According to Steve Gibson's site, there are enough computers out there with incorrect dates that these worms get reactivated and send out new episodes of infection. Look at his site, http://grc.com/codered/codered.htm Of course, he wrote that in July or Augist. Cheers, Tom P
