This issue has been solved. See solution.

I just downloaded and ran AdAware. It found win32.worm.autorun.

I have had Smantec AntiVirus on my machine for months and it never spotted it?

Currently I am running 10.1.5.500 with virus definition 3/12/2010 rev.3

What am I missing? Does Symantec AntiVirus not know about this?

You might want to also upload

You might want to also upload the file to a service like VirusTotal:
http://www.virustotal.com/

See if it detects any virus infections with the file in question.
