Well, according to this article only about 8 seconds if you don’t implement an Anti-Virus and Firewall. It should be noted that the article sites the machine getting infected with Sasser, which probably also means no Service Packs were applied either. This brings to mind an image of staking a goat in the middle of a field and waiting for the wolves to come (or the dinosaurs in the case of the movie Jurassic Park). So how long did it take for the wolves (viruses) to attack? Days? Hours? Minutes?

At the moment I attached the RJ45 Jack to my NIC, AVG detected and deleted Sasser.
