Assuming you mean W32.Alcarys, that was created in February 2002, and any decent anti-virus programming (set up properly) should have killed that before it even got anywhere near infecting your system...

So you actually have to run an executable file? One of those low-risk viruses, then!

like dan said, any decent scanner would of picked it up before it even had chance to do any damage!
Melville - there is a simpler solution, antivirus on all machines, and in each room an old P75 or a 486 with win95 on & a virus scanner, not networked up, and you have to update the virus definitions yourself, best way!
at work we've got 3 servers, all running norton antivirus corporate edition 7.6, all the clients in the school are automatically configured with the client-side of NAV 7.6 via an MSI in the domain GPO, so everything is up-to-date!
we've never had any problems with virus's - rock solid our network
