Imagine if we were only cautious and on the lookout for malware once a "heads up" for an outbreak appeared in the security forum. If users took no precautions whatsoever and only changed their behaviour once they saw a "heads up" for a new virus variant, they would have an infested and dead machine pretty quickly. This is especially since most "heads up" posts in this forum occur way, way after the outbreak has occured. However, if we followed the posts in the Malware forum as they occured we would be changing our behaviour just before or perhaps mostly just have the virus outbreak occured.
