W32.NewApt.Worm virus information from Delanet.com

... and if you are serious paranoid like me, you have java, html 
messages etc turned off or to "prompt" and you dont use OUTLOOK 
(good ol pegasus mail). Okay I have outlook at home but PEG at work 
where it counts.

I scanned everything using latest stuff... then looked for the 
entry in the registry like the Symantic doc says...no VD here.

Nice to be up to date with the scanner though - thanks for the 
scare!
