MOTM

*UGH*

It's after 1AM EST and I've been working on this cleanup without a break
since 8:20 Am... YESTERDAY at this point.

We've actually had the fix since about 1 PM, but it's still so damned MANUAL
that the cleanup is killing us.

Then tomorrow, it's new passwords for everybody.

See why I love digital so much?  >:-(

I know this is the MOTM list, but please bear with those of us who are 
destroyed by this crap.  There is a GREAT page on the cleanup at: 
http://www.thepope.org/index.pl?node_id=140

So far only a few instances of actual infection here, however this cleanup 
procedure contained EXACTLY what we found on infected machines.

HTH
