We got walloped by this one with Bagle. Up until this hit, the office here was using Norton 
Antivirus and Symantec were a day or so behind in getting the virus into their database.

We no longer use Norton Antivirus and the person using the exposed (isp supplied rather than 
in-house mailserver) e-mail address was suitably educated on attachment safety as soon as they got 
out of hospital.
