====Question or Symptom====&lt;br /&gt;
I keep getting notifications from you that one of my machines has the&lt;br /&gt;
Slammer worm. What is that and what do I do about it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Resolution====&lt;br /&gt;
The Slammer Worm is a worm that targets the systems running Microsoft SQL Server&lt;br /&gt;
2000, as well as Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) 2000. The worm sends 376 bytes&lt;br /&gt;
to UDP port 1434, the SQL Server Resolution Service Port. Because the Worm seeks&lt;br /&gt;
to infect other systems it can fill up your pipe to the internet and cause other&lt;br /&gt;
systems on your network problems trying to reach the internet.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
We receive reports for several monitoring organizations when a machine in our&lt;br /&gt;
IP space is probing for other machines to infect, or otherwise sending out virus&lt;br /&gt;
or worm related traffic.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
The URLs below give you some information on how the worm works, how to get rid&lt;br /&gt;
of it, and what patches you need to apply to keep from getting re-infected.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
