Where is the world are you getting this mis-information? Certainly not from the article... The article says:

"...exploits a 6-month-old security flaw in Symantec Client Security and Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition. A fix for the flaw has been available since May.

"The new "botworm" scans for computers running the vulnerable Symantec software and then attempts to break in..."

The flaw has been fixed and that patch has been available since May. The botworm scans for systems which don't have the patch applied to them yet. It doesn't say anywhere in the article that the botworm can harm or affect systems whose software has already been patched.

Both of your statements are totally false. Please read the article before making any other false claims.
