Norton antivirus is not the best antivirus by far, check out panda
antivirus, pandasoftware.com. I have no affiliation with panda I just no =
it

Guys,

The following link will take you to an information page at Symantec with =
all
the details you need about this new mass mailing worm/trojan.  Even if =
your
Norton antivirus was up to date as of yesterday, it may not detect this
virus properly without the beta definition update now available.  That =
was
what I had to install to detect this bug, the regular Live Update for =
Norton
Antivirus did NOT.
