With Norton, the newest virus definitions were not available until 4-5pm yesterday. We were infected a little before 4pm. Previous virus definitions will not stop it. Part of the problem with all Anti-Virus software is that they are only good if they are current. If you're package does not upgrade nightly, you run an increased risk of infection.
My work system upgrades nightly. Since the patches went on, my firewall/mail scanner has stopped 875 "Goner" Viruses from coming into my facility. But that only happened after the defs were updated. You really need to be that vigillant about it to be marginally successfull.
GS - if you had broadband you could change to download daily but it's a real pain on a modem. But if you are using your one machine for work and play and were to lose that do to virus, preventing with checking the virus defs daily is worth it for you... I'll tell you all about it tomorrow because I'm at 99% hooky factor for tomorrow
