Code Red: the Aftermath

LiquidPC writes: "Microsoft has released a tool to help clean up the effects of the Code Red II. It removes the files and mappings installed by the worm, and reboots your system; it also gives you an option to permanantly disable IIS." So, Microsoft has given you a mop to clean up the mess they made. Start mopping! If you're not the one infected, just tired of seeing your Apache logs fill up, you might see this page.

  1. Release a patch that actually does some good! by No-Pants · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why don't Microshaft release a patch that deletes Windows and replaces it with a good OS?
    That would be the ultimate fix!

  2. Fags. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Man, people on slashdot sure are fucking stupid. Even the moderators. "Microsoft gave you a mop to clean up with. Start mopping"?? Hehe.. if I had only one dime for every rempote vulnerability for *nix I saw.. I would be a rich man. These ignorant fucking open source idiots.. Hehe.. one day they will realize that Microsoft holes get the most press press BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST POPULAR. If linux had anything more than 1% of the desktop market for instance.. they would get press for every little remote vulnerability of theirs. And don't make me count them you fags. There have been literally hundreds. Stupid idiots..

    And then they post about "Look what open source can do" and point to a 1985 clone of civiliazation.. Man.. I used to believe in Open Source. I ran Slackware in '95. No matter how many polls diagree with me, the most of you weren't on the intetnet then. It's just funny. Fucking OSF posing faggots. Wasting away on a dead end. A futile future. A hopeless hope.

    Well, good luck with all of that. For now... with all of the thousands of disorganized man hours put into wasted OSF sotwares.. you have one dominant "product".. Apache. That's it. And you let some poser fag (Shaun Fanning) outdo you even in file sharing. Heh.. pathetic.

  3. WTF is up with that second link? by Mr.+Sketch · · Score: 0, Troll

    I clicked on that second link and it rebooted my computer, WTF? How the hell did it do that? Why wasn't there a warning 'Following this link will reboot your computer'?!?! I lost my changes to my thesis I was working on, and I'm pissed! I just figured I'd check out slashdot real quick and my computer rebooted, that sucks! Oh well, screw that, next time I'll make sure to close all my programs before checking slashdot, thanks guys.

    I agree.

    Niggers are like Human v0.93beta.

    They're obsolete.

    Sure they where state of the art when catching wild pigs and building straw huts was the industry standard.

    But now niggers are just obsolete.

    We need to format Africa and install a up to date version of mankind.

  5. Blame everyone bigger than you.! by tcc · · Score: 1, Troll

    I like that attitude (well, I don't). On one side people want to have their freedom and do whatever they want and hack their way in an OS, on the other side they want it to be perfect no bugs no loopholes no errors, and if there is, almost autopatching themselves.

    Fact #1: the world is full of clueless morons that will open any attachement they see because they see "click". EVEN IF YOU TELL THEM NOT TO DO IT.

    Fact #2: If this virus would have hit linux, or apache... people wouldn't have made such a big deal about it. Granted that Linux WWW administrator normally are more responsible towards their servers and patching it at the sign of a problem...

    but what does have to do with the company itself? it's not microsoft's fault if their userbase are composed of clueless morons... Yes I can't bare the fact that *OVER ONE WEEK* later, some servers are still popping my light like if nothing was publicised.. I can't understand how people can be that selfish and ignorant, but is that microsoft's fault?? THE PATCH WAS AVAILABLE *BEFORE* this virus got out!

    I don't like microsoft more than the average joe here, but what I hate even more is people bitching immaturely at every occasion they can get, making "bitching against microsoft" like a crying baby after 2 years.... you get used to it and it doesn't matter anymore... and that's not the effect it should have, now people yell on roofs "microsoft this microsoft that" and nobody listens! Why? simple... it's called credibility folks!.

  6. Re:FUD ALERT by Patrick+McRotch · · Score: 0, Troll

    Funny, I've never been paranoid about installing/patching anything, regardless of the operating system. It seems to me that a GOOD ADMIN would have any important data backed up prior to installing/upgrading any mission critical servers. Just because you're a negligent moron doesn't mean that Windows sucks.

  7. So.. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Now Slashdot editors are even going to criticize Microsoft for coming up with a solution to the problem as well? If anyone ever needed a clear example of the biased, pseudo-journalism that is Slashdot, look no further. Of course, I suppose it's never been too hard to spot anyway, has it?
