SoM, any idea how this virus is coming in? Is it a worm from an e-mail or a website? And will a virus scan catch it before doing an update?

And I leave Norton to update itself normally, and I ran a virus scan when my computer started crashing, which picked up nothing. Later, after I found out about all this, I updated it and it caught it. At any rate, updating shouldn't make things worse if you can do it.

Thanks to you guys for the technical info. My tech guy had me d/l that patch this afternoon and everything's been ok so far.
I also made the dept of homeland security site as a fav place -- i'm sure there's a lot of useful info there that nobody ever friggin hears about til it's too late...
