Mark, do we need to know all the names and go to all those sites you bring us? Or can we just do a live update on our Virus Protestor (I have Norton)?

I too use Norton Chuck. Synantec will push updated definations automatically every fours hours, if needed. You must have an always on connection (DSL or Cable) for "Live Update" to work.

I just hit the update button once or twice a day right now, just to be safe. I post the names and links for information purposes, it is not necessary to know the names of the new bugs, just update at least once a day to be safe.

Safe surfing!
