I have no idea where they came from, but we bought a company that had these 4 foot tall enclosed racks on wheels in all of their field offices. they locked front and rear, and were big enough for a mouse, keyboard and monitor to sit on top. with a KVM inside the door. If you have the space, I loved these things. They were durable, enough to live in retail store back rooms, and easy to work on. Similar to this.

I have models similar to this actually at the main office of this client. But again, not needed or wanted.

I've never understood how viruii got around AV products on machines running them. It's my understanding this is somehow possible because of other unpatched flaws in the OS, even though the AV knows about the virus, the virus can still get in through the OS flaw, then using that flaw disable the AV, and pwn the machine.

Do I understand that incorrectly?

It's normally through another piece of software than the OS today actually. Microsoft finally got most of the holes in their swiss cheese plugged. Ironically, the programming code that many AV use also creates a hole for malware to enter through. Wish I had a few minutes to find those articles that hit recently.

yeah I read those too - darn AV companies!
