Yes. And I looked at the timing. The first anti-virus update that would have caught this one came out over an hour after the machine was infected. So even with an anti-virus gateway running multiple engines, this one in a zip file would have gotten through. Nothing is perfect. In the end, it is still a user failure, even though they deny it. --Eric
