The activity level for the Code Red and Nimda worms are greatly reduced
from initial levels. The amount of traffic that I see hitting our
servers at work is insignificant. But on the other hand, if those
machines are on a home cable ISP network, then the machines are taking
up precious bandiwdth for others. You could consider informing the IP
netblock owner/admin poc from a nslookup, but I usually just block the
offending IPs at the router.
