>From the Symantec site, it looks like the only IIS servers affected are
unpatched servers and does not differ much at all from Nimda A, which was a
non-event compared to the original.  It's not even mentioned at Mcafee yet.
It also uses the 2-year old Bubbleboy exploit to run in the preview pane.
Symantec claims to be able to detect it.  If you're properly patched, you
shouldn't have much to worry about.

Affects Microsoft Windows IIS, File Service, or Outlook.
Other operating systems and software appear OK.
But reports several innovative new attacks.
