Hello svobi,

I visited the Norman site and saw this message in red so it was sure to be
noticed (and a download button):

"Download to remove KlezB and KlezH from infected systems and
re-initialize Norman Anti-Virus if KlezB has disabled it."

Not a very good message for Norman. I wonder: (1) if some people did not
download virus updates every day or (2) if Norman didn't handle these
viruses or didn't provide downloads providing protection from them soon
enough.

Any comments on these points?

Jack
