    Phil, we will probably all have protection from known threats installed on our PC. The real danger comes from new threats that become reality before the IT Security Software industry can provide a fix.

    I had to deal with one such attack in Lagos not too long ago. On the fifth day of server and disk cleaning as per Microsoft and McAfee recommended, both organisations advised us there 6 mutations that now had to be dealt with too. That took us quite a time to deal with, and was nearly as difficult as explaiong to my Executive Board how this all came about.

    It was only when I named other huge Nigerian organisations battling the problem and the declared (some are too embarrased to confess publicly) 9 million infected PC's globally did they stop blaing me personally for the attack happening. I don't think to this day they really understand how virus protection works.
