I know of a few associates who have been infected (on home networks) but ac=
cording to them (I have yet to verify) not via e-mail. These folks are runn=
ing Windows XP Pro with Norton AV & Personal firewall. Microsoft update is =
running as well. Systems continuously reboot by RPC with a one minute count=
down, even when disconnected from the network. Again, I have yet to get han=
ds-on to the systems to do more research. Hope that bit helps.
