That said, later this month (and beyond) the MS Malicious software removal tool will start tracking infection rates. This is likely to be a fairly good indicator. Cheers, Randy

In that case we are talking about a virus that rendered the victim PC totally useless -- bordering on boat-anchor territory. I suspect that reports of any effects of this virus' damage will likely be delayed a similar amount (one to two normal-working-week days -- so Monday or Tuesday), _AND_ such reports will greatly "under-represent" the estimates of how many machines were affected, as you'll probably only hear of a fraction of those that were hit and for which no backups are available. Likewise, machines where although tons of files were trashed, "nothing valuable" was lost, will likely go unreported too...
