  12. identification.

  14. I must agree when you have several thousand PC's to keep CLEAN it's
  15. almost imperative that you know what your coming against.  This type
  16. of identification process makes keeping any kind of useful stats very
  17. difficult.
  18.  
  19. We ran into some factory sealed diskette that were infected. Can you
  20. imagine trying to talk to the service rep. "We know your infected with
  21. a virus, but we don't know what it is."
