And the whole point of my warning was that your AV program is only as good as the update. I don't care what program you have...if we were NOT blocking Pifs via Trend emanager and hadn't done our daily update yet we surely would of been infected. By not doing blocking, Mike you are a disaster waiting to happen. The joe average user who doesn't do av updates daily is going to be infected because sure enough if it says it is coming from MS they are going to click on it. I would'nt of gotten it 4 times already today if that were not the case. Just by not updating in a day I could of been infected but knew enough not to click on it because MS never sends attachments unsolicited. I sent the alert from Vexira because none of the other AV vendors had one up yet. Not every vendor is going to be on top of every virus so relying heavily on one or another is going to get you in trouble. That is why I get alerts from all of them.

However, as I stated earlier - we (our organization) - has enough to worry about, than which filename is good or bad, whereby any filename of any extension - could contain a virus! There's more to protection than AV software and deleting unwanted files. But that's for another time of discussion!
