Through late January and early February of 2004, antivirus researchers at F-Secure in Helsinki, Finland, faced ten virus emergencies without a break for nearly a month. When F-Secure detects a virus outbreak, one of the researchers smacks a toy monkey, which then screams to alert other researchers. The research team gathers and assigns duties: reverse engineering, writing an initial short description, testing and posting an antivirus update, and writing a longer description for the Web. Depending on the severity of the virus, a team may issue an in-house alert; a Level 1 alert, for example, automatically cancels any meetings for antivirus researchers. Mikko Hypp
