Everett,
My computer at home is not able to get on the net since I disabled the RPC. Before
I did this, I did manage to download the latest Norton definitions and I think the
worm is stripped out. In any event, I would rather have my machine back with the
virus in it than the mess it is now. I have downloaded Symmantec's fixblast and
the MS patch to a floppy here at work. Wish me luck, I'll let you know how I do.
