As long as you didn't open the email attachments that actually contain the virus, you shouldn't have the virus and that's why all the Symantec exe's aren't detecting anything.

Here are a few of the subject lines I've seen from emails containing the virus. Be on the lookout for this stuff:

Re: You're Approved
Re: details
Re: Wicked Screensaver
Re: That movie

Also, the file sizes are always been 99k and 110k. The presence of the "Re:" in the subject line of an email from someone you don't even know is enough of a hint NOT to open the attachment.
