Default Re: OT - Ding Dong, the Wicked Worm is dead...

Yes that will fix this known issue, but I always advise my clients to rebuild. Why? Because almost every worm has other payloads attached to it that people don't find out for quite a bit later. Plus there are usually other exploits that sneak in the exploited system that are also not picked up until later.

It's up to you, but in my experience once a box is infected it's best to start over to be sure.

Just my 2 cents worth, from doing security consulting for some time now.
