Well I found all of my home computers infected (which are networked) and the Win XP Pro/Win 2000 computers here in the computer lab where I work at night infected. Since my wirelessly connected Tablet Computer (which was infected) traveled from my day job (where the infection originated) to home to here at the college, that is no doubt the means of transmission. What is weird, and contrary to the below, is that at the very least all of my home computers, including the Tablet PC, are religiously updated with all the Windows updates and checked and updated on a daily basis for v^rus updates. However the updates did not prevent the infection and Symantec Antivirus did not detect or prevent it. McAfee here at the college did not detect/prevent it either......
