This is a great example of a zero-day virus. Virii scanners are only one line of defense and should not be the only line of defense.

But in this case the only thing that would have worked to stop this virus early would have been user education.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9893796 Tue, 06 Apr 2004 16:14:58 EDT Re: clues.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9892966 KoolMoe : Virus scans only work if they have a definition for a given virus file. If this employee created this virus, then there likely exists no definition for it, thus scanners are rather useless.

See, that was the first clue this was a virus-email :(

Second, where the heck was their mailserver-based email attachment virus scanning software?

I'm thinking the local IT guys/gals will quickly become the next disgruntled (ex?) employees...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9892835 Tue, 06 Apr 2004 14:31:31 EDT
