sircam and klez came out before they had fixes, too. And then, McAfee and Norton each had to re-issue updates to their tools for a few days. It only makes sense, IMO, that the virus is in the wild before a fix is made, otherwise would that mean the companies doing the fixes are associated with its (the viruses) distribution? < /tinfoil >

It is just in the past they were discovered and def's were posted in really short order. This is the first time in you 20+ years in IT that I got infections prior to def's being posted.
With my past employer I used a vendor from Norway. For logical reasons this company seemed to be hours ahead of the U.S. companies. I just never had this happen before.
