I wish...  but first I wish we had a working AV.  I got my first copy of
at 12:45 UTC, but Sophos didn't have an updated signature file until
16:31.  and it still doesn't recognise some variants of it!  (I just
_assume_ ZIP files which contain files named "message.html         [80
more spaces].exe" are malware.)


9 hours and counting -- that's pretty bad, I think. I'd be interested
to hear how fast Sophos' competitors issued new virus signatures.
