Having the latest AV software is not enough. You have to keep downloading the latest data files which is used to detect the viruses. My Norton V7 detected and deleted the files during download. I update my data files twice a week. I think that many consumers don't realize that the updating of data files is really more important than having the latest AV engine version. The many variations of this particular virus has required many updates to the detection data files.
