Microsoft Says Recovery From Malware Becoming Impossible

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday April 4, 2006 @03:50AM from the angry-little-viruses dept.

An anonymous reader wrote to mention an eWeek Story about Microsoft's assertion that PCs may no longer be able to recover from the most aggressive Malware. From the article: "[Danseglio] cited a recent instance where an unnamed branch of the U.S. government struggled with malware infestations on more than 2,000 client machines. 'In that case, it was so severe that trying to recover was meaningless. They did not have an automated process to wipe and rebuild the systems, so it became a burden. They had to design a process real fast,'."

That's right, blame the users, it couldn't be the fault of Microsoft's amazing software which as we all know has never ever had a bug or suffered from any really, really stupid design flaws. So repeat after me "it's the users' fault, Unix security used to suck too, it's because we're so popular" and keep your head right there in the sand.
