Well they found the bug last week and issued a fix for it. So roll on a week and somebody's written a virus for it, but, no-one has applied the fix. So it spreads.

Given that Win2K is used by ~50% of corporate desktops that's a hell of alot of computers for a virus to infect.

The worm will work against 2K and pre SP2 XP systems. It will also hit XP sp2 systems that have had the COM updates removed.
