I discovered the new virus by reading the imail list and then visiting the Symantec (www.sarc.com) site. We didn't get hit by the virus because we block all .com file attachments as well as all .exe, .vbs, .scr, .bat and .pif files. I guess Norton AntiVirus for Gateways is doing its job just like it is supposed to.
