The last time we had such advance warning was with the Michelangelo virus [in 1992], but back then people were running around wondering what to do. This time I've been impressed by the number of our clients taking a proactive approach to the problem. It was almost a proof of concept virus, a 'Let's see what happens if you give people all the time in world to prepare' attack.

It's about proving the virus community can't be stopped by anti-virus companies.

I've experienced real incidents of this. An attacker will lay code down for a couple of weeks, let you back up, and as soon as you bring up the second facility, the attacker goes in. So, first Site A goes down, and when you bring up Site B, the same thing happens.

A tool is there to assist, not do the job for you. Always remember that you are at least 50% smarter than computers. Computers know 'yes' and 'no,' but we know 'maybe.' We can evaluate more variables because there are only so many you can put into a tool.
