No worries, David. While Gerry is running IIS, it does *NOT* have Outlook, Outlook Express, M$'s SMTP server, etc...or any other mail client installed. What this means is that even if Gerry had gotten the virus (WHICH IT HASN'T), there executable files needed to send out the worm to others simply are not there.

That probably just means only those people have your address available on their computers. I doubt it's the servers that are infected, though in the case of gerry.vanagon.com it's theoretically possible, since it seems to be running Microsoft IIS. syncro.org appears to be running Linux, so it should be immune.
