How embarassment!
I apoligise to those that know me, and have communicated with me by email. I got this virus this arvo, and WOOOOOSH... of it went. Every email addy (addy book, inbox, even browser chache) and it installs a trojan too.
My virus checker did not pick it up, even after updating it. Trend-Micro (PC-Cillin) did not release a fix for it till this evening (sydney time).
have a look at http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/ for more info. I know some of you have received an email from me containing it.
I got about 200 emails back saying "unknown user", but be stuffed if I know where the addys came form. Probably in cached HTML somewhere. I got about 5 back to say the mailserver rejected the email because it had a virus. So everyone..... get going with your virus checkers!!!
Bob Collins was lucky, and his email/ISP picked it up for him. Others may not be so lucky.
It's taken me 5 hours to clean it off, manually, cause as soon as you try to update your virus checker, (via the web) BOOOOMMMM off goes the trojan sending all sorts of goodies.
