They will surely huck a fresh dose of FUD at you along with an offer to
purchase their new and improved magic pixy dust to cure it.

                While I don't see Code Red anymore (and haven't for a
while), I still 
                see boat loads of Slammer worm traffic sloshing up
against our
                perimeter. I find that equally as obnoxious as Code Red
hanging around
                for years after the fact.
