Ravi, One of the responses to this thread mentioned a 3COM switch. One of the infected sites has a 3COM superstack 1100. I'm not a 3COM fan but these switches have been up for years, literally. All it takes to make this switch reboot is a flow from one infected host. I'm going to try to move the web interface port away from 80. Thank you. Regards, Christopher J. Wolff, VP CIO Broadband Laboratories, Inc. http://www.bblabs.com

hmm, honestly i can't vouch for the data rate personally. a co-worker said the counters on the VPN connections were grossly disproportionate for a short time sample.
bottom line, it is indeed annoying. i know my server and desktop groups have been having a hell of a time disinfecting hosts. i know part of this was that symantec, at the time, said it may be a polymorphic strain.
