How do I learn if and when Forefront definitions will catch a particular virus threat?
One of my technically astute AutoCAD engineers forwarded a link from Webroot about an AutoCAD specific vulnerability.
http://blog.webroot.com/2009/07/01/autocad-adware-trojans-target-techies/
We are using Forefront 1.0sp1 for our client machine malware and virus protection. How can I determine if Forefront will protect against this threat? And if so, which definitions do I need? Although this issue hasn't arisen for me before I can imagine a boss wanting to see proof that a specific product protects against a specific threat.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
I have read the article you list. but I am not sure if this threat is part of our FCS signature or not. if you have a sample of this threat, please submit the malicious file to: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Submission/Submit.aspx
Once get the sample file, our antivirus team will analysis this. If the analysis is that the software is malicious, they can then add detection for this threat.
