W32.Downadup.B

I just looked at this in the Norton threat explorer. If one has remote access turned off, is this still a threat?

Nu2it-   From what I have been able to understanding reading the many posts and the helpful feedback I get from everyone here is this-

 

Norton (NAV or NIS) should protect you from any malicious stuff if the stuff has been added to their definitions and if you are updated quickly

 

Boys- Am I right?   :)

Thansk Red. So even if I had remote access on, my Norton would protect me from this known malice, correct? Just verifying
