A nit: I thought I saw a characterization of the WMF exploit 'opportunity'
that indicated it might be difficult/impossible to find virus payloads
using a signature that employ this exploit.   Did I get that wrong?
Also, are there viruses/worms out there 'in the wild' at the moment that
invoke the Metasploit?  How prevalent are they?

thanks.
