Two years ago, the Love Bug virus "ran rampant" through the Air Force's e-mail system, which runs on Microsoft Exchange software, says Michael Erbschloe, vice president of research at Computer Economics and author of two books on computer security.

The Love Bug caused an estimated $8 billion in damages to computer systems worldwide. Last year, the Code Red virus and Nimda worm, designed to attack Microsoft Internet Information Server software, wrought an estimated $5 billion in damages.

Experts now worry that a cyberattack could knock out power, water, transportation and communication systems.

"The military and the government don't really have too much choice at this point except to start to put pressure on Microsoft and others to improve software security," Erbschloe says.

Gilligan blames software makers for historically delivering products with "relatively low-level quality" under the assumption that customers would tolerate fixes to come later.

Changing that pattern won't come easy, he says. "This is not a matter of just one day issuing a policy within a company that says we're going to now pay more attention to security," he says.

"There are going to have to be some very specific and significant investments made in changing processes for the future.''
