Ok for the past couple of months at work here, we have been getting a lot of emails coming back from the place we get our ISP through saying that there was a virus attached to the file and it has been removed. The message says:

As you can see, the virus it mentions is Win32.Netsky.P@mm. I also seen .Z@mm once or twice. So I read up on it and ran a virus check for it in addition to the Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition that gets run once a week with the newest definitions and neither of them EVER has found a virus. I had the virus checkers check the server too and no virus was found. What can I do?? Is there really a virus?
