Re: clues....

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.

That's correct. 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.
