I am not exactly sure how this Red Line? virus works but your ISP's server could
be infected if they are using Windows NT as I understand it.

What's the skinny on that Red Line? virus guys?

It's "CodeRed II" (closely related to the "CodeRed" worm).  It attacks security
holes in Internet Information Server (IIS): Microsoft's web server software.  That's
the connection to "Windows NT", Paul.  except that if you run WinNT and an Apache
server, you're immune.  :-)
