- In reference to Padgett's comments on McAfee's GENP / GENY virus
- identification.
-
- I must agree when you have several thousand PC's to keep CLEAN it's
- almost imperative that you know what your coming against. This type
- of identification process makes keeping any kind of useful stats very
- difficult.

- We ran into some factory sealed diskette that were infected. Can you
- imagine trying to talk to the service rep. "We know your infected with
- a virus, but we don't know what it is."
