LOL!!

false alarm.
Norton detects the code, after all it is virus-like code!

rename that .htm to ,exe and you will have a real virus!

I doubt it. When it popped up as infected and quarantined it with the HTML extension, all I could do was shake my head and wonder. Well, at least my virus protection is protecting, even if it is falsely.

Hey, I don't believe that you will get a call. If you do, just tell them that it was a test code and impossible to execute...
Let us know if they do say something, but I doubt it...

Yeah, I doubt it, too. The only thing that might raise some eyebrows is that I'm using Windows on a common (remote) NT box, and displaying on my SPARC via the Citrix ICA client. So maybe the admin of the NT box might see a log file entry or something. And I have to think they have more to do than hassle paranoid little ol' me.
