We have analyzed your submission.  The following is a report of our

result: This file is infected with W32.Randex

Developer notes:
IMG000583.com is non-repairable threat.  NAV with the latest rapidrelease definition detects this.  Please delete this file and replace it if neccessary.  Please follow the instruction at the end of this email message to install the latest rapidrelease definitions.

Symantec Security Response has determined that the sample(s) that you provided are infected with a virus, worm, or Trojan. We have created RapidRelease definitions that will detect this threat. Please follow the instruction at the end of this email message to download and install the latest RapidRelease definitions.
Symantec is now building a new set of definitions to include the threat you have submitted. The approximate time to complete this process is one hour. We recommend checking the ftp site periodically over the next 60 to 90 minutes to download these definitions as soon as they are available.

Downloading and Installing RapidRelease Definitions:
1. Open your Web browser. If you are using a dial-up connection, connect to any Web site, such as:  http://securityresponse.symantec.com/
2. Copy and paste the address ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/a...drelease/sequence/ into the address bar of your Web browser and then press Enter.(this could take a minute or so if you have a slow connection)
3. Now select 47088 folder or a higher. Open the folder.
4. Select the file symrapidreleasedefsi32.exe
5. When a download dialog box appears, save the file to the Windows desktop.
6. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the prompts.


Symantec will include this definition in NEXT WEDNESDAYS Virus Definition set OR tommorows Intelligent Updater.

Windows OneCare prolly wont include a def.
