OK "firewalls that malware bypasses or inactivates" Would the right group be: alt.comp.bypass ?

We all know that now. But when I was hit back in 2007 the main anti-virus vendors did not recognize the threat. I believe Micro$oft only advised disabling autorun recently. I posted the possibility of cdroms being a security risk with autorun enabled, and was pooh-poohd by the "experts" > 10 years ago. DuckDuckgo it. I disabled cdrom autorun on my PC, and thought no more about it, until I was hit by the USB autorun malware. Which Kerio detected, on it's first phone-home to China. []'s
