A good method would be to configure your iptables to drop all packets that come in from a new connection on all ports by default, and only allow through the specific ports you want the outside world to have access to.
It is also an extremely good idea to move the ssh port higher than 5k. With the right iptable rules you can configure your system to ignore repeat attacks at the kernel level.
And for the love of all that is good do not use passwords use key auth only, and disable root ssh login.
To be honest the chances of China backing down, (i would think) are fairly slim. If anything them standing firm and Google leaving would show they are not weak in their minds.
China just does not have the disposable income for a company like Google to be very profitable. The largest profits are going to be for company's that do manufacturing there since the labor cost is so low.

It makes you wonder if they are doing this with pot and other illicit drugs.
Is there any other trusted third party software that can be used to verify what Microsoft is saying?

No, and you are retarded for asking.
Why would anyone pay anything to these guys, this technology has been around for at least 15-20 years.
You know i was kind of disappointed to see this was about computer viruses, was hoping it was about Trojan the Condoms
