W32.NewApt.Worm virus information from Delanet.com

[Dave Zug]

I believe I am the only DELANET customer on the list... I am 
presently updating my Norton AV and will notify you all if anything 
comes up or not.

My ISP scans, and it was definetly from gm_ECM. I never open EXE's 
but some messages ask if I want to open as "regular text" or as 
"HTML" I always choose regular. I admin 45 PC's here at work (for now 
anyway... who knows after jan-1 :-(

the message was trapped at delanet so its doubtful I have it, you 
should get updates to your virus scan packages before you scan.

geeze I hope this isnt some marketing ploy arrangement between 
delanet and symantic :-{
