Regardless of my already stated opinion, I do agree a lot with what some of you are saying. But I think a large part of the mitigation depends on what you have in place and how its accessed, and how controlled your environment is. On 11/2/05, Thierry Zoller <Thierry () sniff-em com> wrote:

You should not rely on the user to have is AV solution enabled everytime. Then there are bugs, crashes in the AV soft, rogue workstations etc. Better have 2 lines of defencse than 1 here imho. gpgn> Mine argument that a virus can still get in through other gpgn> means. I need examples and case studies to refer to.
