PS U can not tell if ure PC is infected so if u have opened a similar e-mail check to make sure

I've looked, I believe, and I still think it's my P.C.

ha ha, im just saying that if u updated a couple of minutes ago and it still cant find the virus then its a bit crap considering most other scanners do find it, please look at the link if u dont believe me.

Unless your software is like mine, according to vigilante9.

Where as people using computer based software running on ure PC (eg outlook), please remember to scan and attachments as it doesnt do this automatically.

Oh, okay.

nope, its the software, maybe they havent caught on about it yet. Remember, just coz its the best known for what it does, doesnt mean its the best!

By the way, any1 with hotmail or similar accounts should be ok as the built in software finds the virus b4 u download it.

Perhaps it isn't the software (Norton AntiVirus), but the computer. It's the worst one EVER.

go to this page mate.....

maybe ure AV software isnt very good, think about changing it!

I just updated my AV software a few minutes ago, and then checked Symantecs website (http://www.sarc.com) and then checked my updated AV software, and I found absolutely nothing matching that description. The closest one I found was:

Name: Sirius
Infects: COM and EXE files
Likelihood: Rare
Size: 1068 bytes

Characteristics:
Memory resident
Encrypting

I hope I get this e-mail then I can send it to my old school, ha ha ha ha!
