And please tell me how CodeRed was worse? I'm sorry, this just created a lot
of Internet traffic hurting performance? That's a little underrated. But
then again, it's a port that could be blocked and not cause severe damage.
Block tcp/80 and people would through a fit.

*mental note: Block port 80 anytime another port must be blocked just to be
sure.
