I personally think that rebuilding a server is easier...
Drop a ghost image or whatever, then restore last night's backup...
When was the last time that users backup on a nightly basis!?!?!

Wow... I dont know who made the call here, but now every workstation was
loaded with BlackIce about a month ago (1000's). And yes, a bunch of people
got hit... my boss was one of them.

Wow one week. I am a registered user of BlackICE and didn't get so much as
a peep from ISS.
ISS's reputation is in toliet after this one. I can remember Steve Gibson
http://www.grc.com complaining about BlackICE inadequacies as a firewall
over 2 years ago. Looks like he was right. Thankfully I had only had a
lone 2 PC branch office that was still running this piece of garbage.
Luckily they did not have the worm yet.

Sorry to hear you got hit that hard, but according to ISS they had a patch
out for this a week before the worm hit.
From their website: (http://www.iss.net/)=20 "The fix was delivered as a
maintenance update before eEye publicly disclosed the vulnerability. Before
any worm could be developed 'in the wild', ISS customers were protected
automatically via a simple update that shielded the vulnerability from
attack."
I'm guessing you guys didn't get the update?

I just want to say that this virus writer must really have some brass ones,
man. This was a looloo, came back in through ISS on our servers.
Knocked
out all critical systems. Thank goodness we have great people on our team,
enabling us to be back up by business this morning...mostly. I sure hope
that no one else got hit with it. We might be doing cleanup for weeks.

Sorry - the URL got a little messed up when I sent it.
It should be http://tinyurl.com/2n3b7.
