No, but when I went to the Norton site for a Live UpDate, it said that you are not necessarily infected, but there is/was an outbreak and to be aware of it.

Thanks for your link.

It got me this morning when my daughters were on the computer, and Norton wasn't able to get it as the worm disabled Norton to the point that I couldn't download the latest protection. Took the computer to the shop where they were flooded with calls. It came to my attention when I received a call from my ISP stating that my computer was involved in some illegal activities. I asked what and was advised that my computer was trying to hack into Microsoft Corp. Yeah right. Anyway I guess it has hit a lot of computers.:clonk:

Guess I could be seeing alot of virus cleanup calls.

Downloading the latest virus defintions will do nothing after you have been infected. More often than not it will do nothing before you get infected too, it will just tell you that you have a virus/trojan/worm. I recommend using the link that shooter provided and follow the removal instructions to make sure you have got rid of the worm.
