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.
