Yeah. I just looked at my firewall report. I'm getting (really) thousands of failed hits/day on port 1214, which makes sense for something that's distributed through Kazaa. According to the document on McAfee, if you're a Kazaa user, try to run regedit. If you can do that, you probably don't have the disease. The Outlook (again) distribution is, lets hope, a secondary method of propagation. The background noise on the net is getting a little loud lately. Increase it another order of magnitude or two, and the net will grind to a halt. Most of the problem can be attributed directly to Outlook.
