"recommendations

Symantec Security Response encourages all users and administrators to
adhere to the following basic security "best practices":
...
    * Always keep your patch levels up-to-date, especially on computers
that host public services and are accessible through the firewall, such
as HTTP, FTP, mail, and DNS services.
    * Enforce a password policy. Complex passwords make it difficult to
crack password files on compromised computers. This helps to prevent or
limit damage when a computer is compromised.
    * Configure your email server to block or remove email that contains
file attachments that are commonly used to spread viruses, such as .vbs,
.bat, .exe, .pif and .scr files.
    * Isolate infected computers quickly to prevent further compromising
your organization. Perform a forensic analysis and restore the computers
using trusted media.
