Abstract: This paper gives a simple example of a defence against a worm attack which is a randomized combination of pure strategies, and which is superior to all of the pure strategies that it combines. Although it was developed to defend against an attack on virus throttling in a specific network device, both the attack and the defence are rather generic, and may be applicable to other areas.
