    Actually I have seen the opposite, we used to get <3 a week, and I
    have gotten atleast 5 in the last four hours. 30 - 50 over the
    weekend.

    I am seeing the opposite trend, maybe I got yours :). But I thought
    maybe there was another virus doing the rounds that used Nimda as a
    payload or a "I will try to infect this machine with myself and
    Nimda/Code Red".

    I was figuring the latter because I am seeing a few successive
    infection attempts, Klez, Yaha, and Nimda (or Code Red). Could be
    coincidence, but I raised an eyebrow.
