yes, that's how they found that a virus has passed.
it could be just a timing issue (e.g. what time the update was scheduled),
or even that the virus was in a password protected zipfile (like the one
I've got 10 minutes ago), but since I wasn't there when it happened I can't
tell why, and I don't have other client that uses it, so I can't really
recommend it as a secure solution to my clients. I do give them this
option, but I also recommend that they'll have a commercial anti virus on
the desktops.
