We obtained a virus update from Symantec and started scanning 
our systems.
Norton Anti-Virus has been finding numerous infected exe's including
wordpad.exe and many other executables. :-(
NAV is unable to clean the files and can only quarantine them :-(
Enjoy rebuilding your servers :-(


McAfee is CLEANING the infected executables.  Norton is deleting them.  I
suggest getting your hands on a copy of Virusscan or Netshield to do the
cleaning portain at least.
