Hi, I did update. I update if not auto, but every time I go or went to use it. Somehow it got passed. S--- happens. Maybe Norton didn't have the right klez at the time we got it, after all someone has to report it for them to put it on their list. Thats cool that yours has it on it though, will save you in the future. Better than having to go through what I did thats for sure.
have fun,
Tracy

recent definitions have no problem catching it. The real key with anti-virus programs is to
update the definitions online at least once a week. Since I have an always on connection, I
have Norton set to update every day.

some information that might come in handy.......some viruses cannot be detected by Norton or
many other virus detectors, removers, etc. For example the klez virus cannot be detected, it
goes into your computer as a hidden running program and disables any Norton type things that
you have.
