We have all the latest downloads and run a nightly full system scan using Norton Internet Security Professional. Nothing was detected but yesterday detected but we had a Mailer-Daemon returned email from an unknown person at a client corporation. I had not emailed this unknown person. The content of the email (no attachment) was gobbledygook but we managed to decipher a reference to a file "3D Text.scr". Doing an internet search led me on a trail which implied it might be a Sasser Worm.
I could find nothing in the Norton Knowledge Base about this. I went to the McAfee site and downloaded one of their Sasser removal tools. It detected and removed the virus named "W32/Mydoom.a.eml!exevirus!!!" This virus was listed on their site as being detected on 16/6/2004!
I recommend that if you are a business you contact your IT manager to ensure that your anti-virus scanner can detect and remove this virus.
If you are using your own PC you might want to download the Mcafee Sasser virus removal tool. It can be found at the following link:-
