Has anyone experienced crashing DSL modems that can be attributed to CodeRed?

I have two DSL lines right next to each other. One with a Cisco 675 in
bridging mode to frii supporting a static subnet.  The other is a Cisco
678 in ppp/router mode to qwest and supports 8 (5 usable) static IPs.

A week ago or so I disabled web access to both after hearing about
CodeRed-I.  This weekend the 678 began crashing every few hours or so.
Since it seemed to coincide with the growth of CodeRed-II I was thinking
that it might be getting hit hard and having some type of overflow.  I
put in a trouble report to qworst (as some say) Sunday afternoon and
have yet to hear a reply.

Today it has been even worse.  I can't keep the modem up for more than an
hour at a time.  Now I am wondering if this is a symptom of CodeRed
at all.  The modem in bridging mode has been flawless but the other
has been hell.  I would love to know if anybody else has experienced these
types of problems.

P.S.  Cisco DSL modems have been infected with the Microsoft IIS virus.
      I read this on the Cisco pages.  Can you believe that anyone would
      actually burn MS crap into ROM?
