Hi Tony,
I've received almost thirty instances of the virus in the last three days.
My Norton AntiVirus definitions dated July 18 picked up every one and
safely quarantined them. I've been wondering if any of the forums were
going to post this. We've had two clients catch the virus and almost every
program on their computer refused to run. Norton's now has a downloadable
executable to delete the virus from infected computers.
