You may want to be careful though because Norton's scan only safely
catches worms that are known to be in the wild and - in some cases - the
heuristics *MIGHT* be strong enough to catch derivatives. There are
stronger antivirus systems out there, but they're still somewhat plagued
by the same general deficiency. The best one that I had ever used was
called F-prot -- it was a DOS virus scanner, a very strong one.
