I have to second what Scott states here...

I submitted an infected file to Mcafee, Trend, CA, and Symantec on Tuesday
night/ Wednesday am.

I have heard back from all but Symantec. I have the new definition files
catching the virus in all but Symantec's products...Mcafee was the quickest
in getting me the extra.dat, followed by CA, and Trend. I have heard
absolutely nothing from Symantec and their latest definition files are not
catching the virus yet...
