Another thing to keep in mind - typically NAV, by default, does not check
*all* files.
I always recommend everyone go into Options and set both
Auto-Protect and Scanner to All Files. Typically, I would also set the
Heuristics on the scanner to Highest .
Wow - this one does look nasty, especially bullet #2 ... ouch.
o Large scale e-mailing: Uses email addresses from the Windows Address Book
files and Outlook Express Sent Items folder.
o Causes system instability: Overwrites hard drives, erases CMOS, flashes
the BIOS.
o Releases confidential info: It could send confidential Microsoft Word
documents to others.
...above 'tips' may not be relevant in this case, but still a good practice.
Thanks!

According to Symantec if you had the latest virus definition files then you
should have been fine. This virus is in the March 13 virus definition file,
and I know that we are covered here at work with it. You might want to check
to make sure that the machines really did have the latest virus definition
files, and contact Symantec to be safe.
This virus is a HIGH threat it seems. l
