e.g. AVG seem change their *.DLL contents and filenames almost
as often as they supply signature pattern updates,

Ok, if AVG is a moving target, good for it. I'm not saying that's not
(I've never owned or used AVG).

Based on the writeups for Storm, there seem to be lots of anti-malware
products that don't change their process names.

Storm scares the crap out of you doesn't it? Heh. Really man, that worm
(well, trojan really, but what the hell) isn't doing anything new. :)
It's just doing many old tricks at once, and doing a fine job of it as
well.

I think the writeups are scaring people tho. Storm isn't new, others have
come long before it and did the same stuff.

(tangent - some writeups say that Storm also turns off some P2P apps -
anyone know why it would do that?)

When you manage systems being used by a few monkeys, you can't always
be watching over their shoulder...

Are you paid to run warez software on a business environment or what?
