I caught the W32.NAVIDAD virus from an attachment the other night because I trusted their online scanner to do it's job.

Big mistake. But, fortunately one that was easily fixed. I tried it again with my local Norton AV running in the background and it caught it right away.

I emailed their tech support and advised them of the problem and they responded they would look into it.

Just be aware.

Yeh, I had virii coming out my ears, (or I should say ports) last week. My $50 AV app let me down too!
I re installed Nortons and it picked them up right away.
