Re: Thank you SuperAntiSpyware!!

I'm kinda curious as to how SAV was setup? What were the settings used? Was it current? Generally speaking Symantec products have a good track record with scoring high in tests. Not saying it catches everything of course.

If indeed SAV truly missed the infection this just goes to show that one cannot depend on an AV alone to catch everything.

Well, it's resident and self/auto update enabled. Machines on-site (though it's a global company w/all sites (I believe) employing SAV), I'd estimate at between 100-150 units (a guess).

Some few years ago, they also utilized webroot .. choosing to discontinue it's use for, to me, unknown reason(s). Too, why they chose not to replace webroot with another AS tool is unknown to me.

Complete agreement. As Kiwi said, they're better served using a layered defense.

edit: changed that SAV was "auto update capable" to enabled.
