Not to be overly critical or anything, but this worm exploits a hole in IIS
that was discovered quite some time ago. The patch that fixes the .ida
vulnerability was released June 18th. Your host should never have been
hit, because they should have patched their server a month ago. In my
opinion, you should be asking them why they didn't apply the patch before
the worm was an issue.
