I don't believe so, that's the last representation of the data that I saw. What I don't recall is if NIMDA was done before, after, or during the ICSA Labs virus prevalence survey[1]. Generally, if it's before the data is very accurate and the sample size very large, if it's during the the extrapolation is near but the size smaller, and if it's after, then the sample size is much smaller though the numbers are still close. In our customer base, the incidence was less than 1.2% (including new and non-certified sites.) We actually track and scientifically survey for virus prevalence, as well as get data from our customers so I'm confident the numbers are accurate. I'll have to check something before I theorize why the general rate wasn't significantly higher. Paul [1] It's available somewhere at www.icsalabs.com, the methodology is documented, I'm running late, so I can't grab a copy, you probably have to register to get a copy but it is otherwise free, and TruSecure pays my bills and owns ICSA Labs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
