This backs up what I speculated on Feb 26, that there must be a 'honeymoon period' for a virus between its first release into the wild, and the time that the big AV companies produce an update for it. The first they'd know about a new virus is when their customers complain they've been infected despite having an up-to-date AV. A company like Symantec would NEVER admit that they offered no protection for a new virus, so trust your own instinct (that it IS a virus) rather that a clean bill of health from Symantec that might be based on out of date information.
