I've used 4 different hosts for this test, all with client side AV, up to
date signatures and scans.  The last host I used to test this was a fresh
install by a matter of an hour, with the first file created after the
final install of M$ patches was an excel file used in the last test.  I'll
run through my AV consoles again on all my test hosts - but I highly doubt
that all 4 are infected - especially since 2 are at work hooked into an
Enterprise AV solution and don't talk to the 2 at home.
