What I do all day long is talk to peope who have, one way or another, contracted a virus, worm or password stealing trojan. I am going to look into this first thing Monday morning. edriver's error is to call it quits with the forums as an altrnative to installing a firewall and antivirus software. He will just run into the same problems eleswhere, surfing b*tt-cheeks to the wind like that. The first line of defense against this is run a Mac. There's 40 viruses compared to 47,000 on the PC (1/10%). 80% of what I see on the PC is Kakworm and PWSteal; so if you avoid (or patch) Outlook Express and AOL you eliminate most of the threat.
