Unless I am not understanding (because I am reading it now) it still does
not give the solution of access when a machine is compromised. Hence what
Ben, Alex and I are examining, obfuscation to the sites with access to the
tools to clean them. Compromised machines cannot "get" to anything due to
DNS changes and re-directions from malicious servers.

Now, I have yet read the full report.

The concept of distributed/cloudAV has been worked on by the University

It's similar in detection concept to Sunbelt's new product in that it
uses multiple engines, and to the current discussion in that it is a
distributed system.


Admittedly, this is also something we (Trend Micro) started working on a
couple of years ago, especially the "distributed protection" components in
"the cloud" -- we were one of the first to deploy. Not meant to be a
marketing point, but FYI:
