I forgot to put the date of the virus definition files, which was November
24th -- That means the time difference between Norton's posting and Robert's
posting was about 15 hours.  I mention the amount of time simply because these
viruses travel very rapidly.  (The virus was discovered less then 12 hours
before it was "covered" by an Norton update!)

Norton posted a new virus definition file at 15:19 EST (Sorry I don't know the
differential to Ireland) which specifically addressed this virus.  The
information on this virus can be found at:

The current definition files can be found at:

Although the frequency of virus definition updates varies, I just make it
standard operating procedure to check daily.  This is easy if one places an icon
for the virus definition files on your Windows desktop.  Now those who use Mac
and Linux operating systems probably will need a different procedure.
