I just received a message from HaHaHa and Norton alerted me as soon as it came across did not check to where it came from, before I deleted it from the system. It's been a long day and I was not thinking. But, I do agree with you if you have the AV configured correctly it will respond, but you also have to keep data files updated which I do twice weekly.

>E.C., If your Norton AV didn't respond, you need to check into it. Since the actual virus-containing file comes as an attachment, Norton SHOULD have alerted you immediately of the bad file. Do you have Norton configured to check ALL downloaded files, whether as email attachments or net/web downloads? I use McAfee and it notifies me immediately when one of these HaHaHa emails is being downloaded,
