I like this: "Flores said that under Microsoft's security policy, the company normally scans every file being transferred to the master of a program. But in this case, the company only analyzed files it expected to find. [emphasis mine] Since the Nimda-infected file had been added by the worm, the company overlooked it." Ummm, but wouldn't a complete, thorough virus scan check for FILES THAT DON'T BELONG!!!! Brian Bronson
