Just like viri - wait a day.
How many companies do you work for that are ok with an extra day of
downtime?
What do you suggest? Format everything?
Symantec has released 0-day response cleaning tools for 95% of new threats
since the day we started using SAVCE in 1999. Only time we had a threat not
locked down in 24 hours was ILOVEYOU. Killing exchange for a day while
waiting for the imminent fix sounds a lot better than formatting everything.
