Lordy...that virus has been wandering around in one form or another
since the first part of the year. I think I may have 30 or 40 copies
in at least three different guises if you want one. :-))

Some of them are real professional looking. They appear to be a MS web
page if you have HTML turned on. They even give the "proper" MS web
site addresses, unfortunately they are "spoofing" them and take you
else where. They are benign, *unless* you click on the "update".
:-))

There is another that "appears to be from e-bay" asking you to confirm
your account and that takes you to a site that appears exactly like
the e-bay site, "except" they ask for you account name, PW, and credit
card information.... There is also one going around from "Best Buy".
Again they use address spoofing.
