Related to this, we created a (very) simple Extension Attribute to flag machines that *might* be infected with the latest strain.

We then created a group that keys on machines that reply with 'Alert'. That group is set to email upon any change.

I'm sure there are more effective ways of doing this but it's better than nothing.

---------

#!/bin/bash

if [ -e /Users/Shared/.*.so ]; then echo "<result>Alert</result>"; else echo "<result>Clean</result>"; fi

Just added that attribute to our list and am now waiting for our next 30m check-in to see what comes up.

Thank you both so much for the news and for the attribute!
