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
catches viruses, worms and Trojan horse viruses that neither Norton's or
McAffee will catch.

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.

Guys,

I submitted the file to the Symantec folks and received the following
response.  They also sent me a file to run.  Probably can download it from
the www.symantec.com website.
