Better than manual update is automatic update. I have NAV 2003 and it automatically updates definitions all the time. I got this virus several times in my mail account as a MS update. The people that spend their time creating this crap should get atleast 20 years in prison w/ no early parole, for this crime, when convicted. I hope that kid the Feds arrested, once proven guilty, gets the maximum sentence! I've only been hit by one virus but it did enough damage, including loss of valuable data, that I would gladly rap my fingers around the perp's throat and squeeze!
