What I do is rename 0124i32.exe to Update.exe. Next I put a shortcut on each
desktop which executes
//server/share/Update.exe. Then I resend a canned e-mail to Update your
virus definitions. People that
resist doing this on their own, get a scheduled task added to their desktop
when I discover a very old
definition. Not great, but it almost works.
