Umm, excuse me, I'm just a dumb Mac Admin, but I was under the
impression that this "new strategy" was the current strategy.  At

machines (all 100-200), essentially block spreads by watching what's
going on and looking for virus-like code, then killing it (unless I
have no concept of the way PC virus killers work)
