Yes, very different. This is about the Code Red Worm. It spreads from Windows web server to windows web server through a hole in the OS.
SirCam, which is the one discussed in announcements, is a worm that spreads through
e-mail and requires the user to download and THEN execute the attachment for the worm to became wild on their computer.
The Code Red is so dangerous since it actively seeks out non-patched servers the 1st through the 20th of each month and infects those machines
without any user intervention. So, if you don't have the patch installed your server will most likely get infected.
On the 19th of July, even some of the servers for windowsupdate.microsoft.com where infected with Code Read and were displaying the "Cracked By China" page for several hours until Microsoft noticed the problem, rebooted, and patched them. :rolleyes:
