Yep, it is normal these days as every day new variants from Bagle, MyDoom and Netzky are detected !
The McAfee "Stinger" tool has been updated 2 or 3 times in the last week and there have been 4 virus defintion DAT revisions in the last 4 or 5 days which were applied to the Virus Scan program. The "virus contest" is bringing up new variants daily.
Hope this helps.
