AURORA virus

Hi, I am trying to find out if NIS 2010 with all the latest updates, will protect me from the Aurora virus. I have searched the NIS website using an exact search, looking for 'AURORA virus', and find nothing? WHen I look in "Viruses & Risks"  I don't find it??? Can someone please tell me:

1. Am I currently protected?

2. For future, where do I look for the latest news on Viruses & Risks?

Thanks!

Re: AURORA virus

Hi krw1

 

For more information about Aurora, please look at this thread. They might not have put that information on the website in an effort not to let it be known that Symantec is doing something about that virus. That's just my opinion though. A lot of the times you can usually find the latest information in this Forum.

Success always occurs in private and failure in full view.
