I have just checked in with my virus program and have come up with a list of new virus since Sunday. Most of them of trojans adn worms again.
These are coming through emails, and share ware programs.
These are just a couple I got when I checked out the site.
W32.Alcra.A
Trojan.Flush.D
Trojan.Webus.F
Trojan.Pepop
W32.Mytob.CH@mm
Trojan.Esteems.D
Some of these are coming in on emails with subject lines such as:
Notice of Delivery Failure
your email account is under suspendsion
security update need on your system
security update
The trojans come through back doors opened with certain spam email, shareware, pop ups.
When the trojan has a backdoor opened it will look for a list of shared files. It will also block certain anti-virus updates.
To check out more or removeable tools you can check out

Here at this site it has updates constantly as they come in and all details needed to define them as well as the romoveable tools for them.
Symantec is in association with Norton Anti-virus
Lately it seems that our cyber world no longer works the way it was meant to. It seems we are constantly being attacked by these people and it is no longer safe just to surf the net.
If it isn't telemarketers calling us on the phone it is spam coming through on the net. Will we ever be safe in this world.
Another suggestion I have you might have all ready done this or know but when checking emails try and run a virus check on it first or if you don't know it just don't open it.
Check with your server to find out what protections they have for your email accounts.
I will hopefully have more information tomorrow if time allows me.
