Well Computer Associates "InnoculateIT" product does not detect it.

The company I work for here bought 25-user license of this software and I've never seen it detect anything, which is very suspicious.

Time to migrate to McAfee/NAI Total Virus Defence, I've used it before and it seems to do what it says on the box.
