Sorry to hear you got a worm! Good luck catching up. Hmmm, guess I'd better download my antivirus updates here. . .

We're pretty much caught up now.

This one hit at 2pm, and we got a special beta of new (working) patterns at... 3pm. [sigh]

This one spread really, really fast. I got a call from my network engineer at like 1:50, saying that [imagine an Indian accent here] "What I am seeing is some traffic that is very unusual. Maybe a virus is trying to spread itself."

Four... count'em... four minutes later... offices start dropping off the WAN like flies. Dang... just dang...

We had everything back up and mostly happy inside of an hour... but we're still chasing a few of them. Yikers.
