With $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like ... love!

Sorry to hear about your infections, guys

Being a glutton for punishment, I went to have a look myself... really I wanted to check out my PC's defences.

Norton Antivirus 9 - Corp Edition trapped the trojan immediately.
Added to that my HOSTS file (all 42000+ lines of it) blocks sites from launching external code and iframes from known shit-heads.

I am not a Symantec affiliate, but I would recommend it... have never had a problem since changing from McAfee nearly four years ago.

With these scumbags seemingly breeding like rabbits, it might be worth considering upgrading your defences (or getting a Linux box for checking links )

Just my 2¢ worth.
