i find it odd that the only info out there is either symantec's own woefully 
inadequate description - is it two versions of the same thing (ouch!), how 
does running a PE infect an elf? and vice versa, how does it arrive in the 
first place - every other mention of this is a link back to the symantec 
paragraph, if it wasn't for the location of this snippet i'd be thinking 
'hoax', also, symantec reported as of may31 that no customer had reported 
this to them, so how do they know it's out there, maybe this is a lab 
experiment that can't exist outside of the lab due to real world conditions,

i have a feeling that there is egg somewhere, but will it be on my face? :-)
