It irritates Apache by inflating the httpd-logs. It started out affecting only poorly maintained NT based servers running IIS, which is their server. If the sysadmins updated their servers with critical updates available back in July 2001, IIS was immune to Code Red and many of the other worms and etc. Now they have to install Windows 2000 and add the patch before they connect to the internet. If they don't, they can be infected by Code Red before they can download the patches from Microsoft.
