NAI are saying Code Red only effects W2K, not NT4 is this true?

Interesting, I have found two boxes that were infected - rogue explorer
found, both NT4SP6a, IIS 4.0 and both had the MS security patch installed
and are behind ISA2000.  Oh no...not the rebuild...not the rebuild!

Symantec has instructions on their site for "eradication" of the Code Red
worm, but I've found those to be a bit unreliable. It's not totally their
fault; Code Red is actually a hidden process running on your machine that
sleeps most of the time, so "making it gone" is very difficult. You can use
task mangler to stop the single-thread "explorer" process, but it'll just
come back again later.  You have to rebuild the box while it's unplugged
from any network until you get the MS security patch installed or you stand
a good chance of getting reinfected.
