lori
it is always good to 'virus scan for checking your disk'
and fyi - the recent one was aimed at the - servers -
reportedly over 22,000 + were hit and symantec/norton
sent out their notification of it w/info recently
1/
named
W32.SQLexp.Worm.
2/
since it is a 'memory resident worm' - the normal
'virus definitions' are not useable/per nav
3/
they also have a 'removal tool' available at their site
4/
their 'security response site' is -
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/
so take it fr there
