An article on the paper today stated that only 33% of U.S. citizens are "Tech Savvy". Meaning allot of Joe's out there are clueless....

I bet ol' Joe's AV signatures where last updated in 98 or 99...

I know Microsoft has a product that allows you to donwload patches to a centralized server (within your infrastructure) and let's you patch your internal systems from it. Heard our MS admins talking about it a while back....
