I got the same email. As stated Norton AV may not have caught it,
but there have been a couple of live updates in the last few days. I
ran the file "sample.exe" past it this morning and it catches it now.

I use Pegasus mail which is much safer than MS anything by virtue
of not being anything MS. Norton doesn't integrate directly with
Pegasus for scanning incoming email but does spring up if I try to
save an attachment to disk or run it/view it.

One thing to watch out for with Norton (as discovered by a friend) is
when your 12 months of free live updates expire it doesn't inform
you and you can become vulnerable to newer viruses. Apart from
that it seems to do a pretty good job.
