[AccessD] Virus mail

I seem to be getting quite a few at home, where suddenly my Norton Antivirus
blares at me that a virus (or malicious code) was detected in my IE temp
folder.  The odd thing is that I may not have been doing anything in IE for
some time, prior to that.  So....why is it suddenly found?  Why wasn't it
detected when it was downloaded?  Or....is my computer surfing the net, in
the background, when I'm not looking?  I do weekly scans...and Norton
antivirus AND firewall are on my machine.  I am perplexed how the code
managed to get past these, to even make it to my hard drive (being as how
Norton appears to recognize it as malicious code....albeit, only after being
downloaded.)

Don't know what is happening here.

It's not coming from the list. I can promise you that.

I haven't been getting any at all and I don't have any filtering 
going on.

If you never fail, you're not trying hard enough.
