people already sent in the online scanners. Symantec also has an online scanner.
If you are buying a new Norton, you might consider buying it thru a store and
get a totally new 2004 anti-virus rather than just renewing your older version.
I don't know what version you have, but I know that I was better off buying it
at a store and upgrading than when I just bought the years worth of dat files
online. The newer program covered more potential problems. You can get an
upgrade rebate on it, so the price isn't that bad. I also use tax software -
which had a rebate too - so I got it for free.
You might consider this too:

Hi all, could I have a virus? I am trying to figure out a problem. My virus
engine thing ran out a few weeks ago, I need to send money in to update for the
last few weeks. Is there a good online virus checker for win xp i should use?
My nortons is working but my dat files I guess are not updated for the last few
weeks. My subscription ran out.
