Is your cable modem blinking overtime?

overtime, it's because someone on the cable network is running a server
infected with the Code Red Virus. It can't infect PC's, only Servers. But it
will create a bunch of network noise in a atempt to slow down the network.
Anyone on the cable network needs to clean their server, then reboot. Pass
it on.

Where did you get that from?
It can infect any machine running an unpatched version of IIS. That
includes PCs.

server.houston.rr.com:
By 'PC', he means a computer running Windows without server software. His
terminology is sloppy:
A PC can run OS's other than Windows
There is other server software than IIS.
but his intent is correct.

for a virus everyone in the internet world probably knows about by now, they
have no business running one in the first place. Obviously there are still a
bunch of them out there. How long has Code Red been out there? How long has the
patch been available? Wake up people...

PC's running Windows NT or 2000. I have been running AnalogX's Simple
Server on a Win98 machine, which no longer works. I have tried everything
and can't get it to work. It stopped working after the Code Red Virus
alerts. At the same time, I had problems with all the computers on the
network not being able to connect to the internet. I had to configure all
the computers, entering the IP addresses and DNS points manually.
I have since been able to go back to assigning everything automatically, but
Simple Server still does not work. I tried deleting and reinstalling the
updated version, but still nothing. I have 3 computers - 2 WinMe and the
server Win98. They are connected to a linksys hub and the linksys single
port router. I'm using MDaemon Mail and Serv-U ftp server software, and
they work fine.
Have I been infected with the code red virus? I ran the fixes on the
symantic website, and no Code Red Virus was found on any computer.
Can anyone help?

some type of virus. If you go to www.cablemodemsrock.com there are some good
links on virus scanning and PC security. There is a link to moosoft which has a
free program to scan for trojans on your machine as well as a couple sites you
can hit to check for code red on your machine. You could have any of dozens of
different viruses, maybe it will show up on one of these scans. It's too bad we
have to assume that any unusual behavior exhibited by our PC's is due to a
virus, but that seems to be the norm any more.

computers in my c:\windows\system\inetsrv folder. That is supposed to
indicate that I have an IIS server. The problem is. I'm not running a
server on that computer. I am running the server on the Win98
computer. inetinfo.exe is not on the server computer or the other
WinME computer.
Could this somehow be related to my problem?
