Carol, your Norton had to be updated daily to have the ability to detect the virus. I updated mine when the first post about the virus came through. Later, I got a suspicious looking email from Mary Ellen and when I clicked on it the Norton virus detected screen came up. I was able to use Norton to get rid of the email and avoid the virus.
