Abstract
When a computer virus outbreak is detected, a predefined sequence of steps are automatically or manually followed using rule definitions, that may include office hours, to invoke anti-virus counter-measures. The counter-measures can include reducing virus notification, increasing scanning options, blocking E-mail attachments, hiding E-mail address books and the like. The predetermined sequence of actions may be varied with the time of day and day of week.
