In testing the Norton Anti-Virus product against a file with multiple
infections of the Jerusalem B virus, I found that it will remove only
one instance of the virus at a time.  It reports that the virus has
been "successfully removed" even though the remaining copies of the
virus remain attached to the file.  Other products I've tested will
remove all instances of a multiple infection automatically, without
user intervention.  I consider this aspect of the Norton product to be
a serious defect and I would hope to see it corrected in a subsequent
release.
