Hello,

I found a new virus on a customers machine that could not be detected
with Norton or AVG. I also e-mailed it to myself and Arachnet mail
filter didn't pick it up.

Where do I report such things?

The virus posed as Windowsupdate.exe and killed taskmgr.exe and refused
to let msconfig start. Unless of course you renamed them.

thanks,

Chris Caston
