I once got a virus email from myself! Right. The problem with anti-virus is it can only protect what it knows about. My anti-virus was updated about 4 times in the last days. The virus or worm can lie dormant and spread like wildfire, then get kicked on and before they can unravel a cure, it's everywhere. You're number one fix is to run Windows Update all the time, or better yet, get the Update monitor that will do it for you. Fix the holes where it gets in rather than the virus.
