some folks here asked about ongoing Nimda infection attempts, and why
they haven't fallen off the way CodeRed did.

see our new report on global Internet worm activity for answers:

quick summary: we still see roughly 5 billion Nimda attempts every day,
and although CodeRedII is dead, CodeRed has become the new Internet
locust plague...
