My OS X box, acting as a firewall, is showing a hit on udp port 1434 every 3-5 minutes. Anyone else experiencing worse? It's not as bad as code red was, but apparently the worst part of the attack has already passed :

This is one of those situations where if you turn off your computer when not using it you're very glad you do. This nasty bug is screwing with the whole Internet, and that's no mean feat. Bad script kiddies, BAD!
