Have You Been Infected?

Noticed an increase in spam over the last few days, on here, and also generally on email, in particular on the club's email lists, which are distributed far and wide, on many PC's. Turns out I'm not alone:

E-mail worm throws up hate spam

It's part of the infection from Sober-P. Needless to say all my virus and firewall's are updated now.

The other one's to do with PayPal, and the spoof emails asking for your credit card details, a number of which have been arriving to home email accounts. JS.Trojan.Blinder is it's name, and a pretty bad one it is too.

Of course, anyone with a Mac doesn't suffer, so don't remind me Jonathan, or Mike ;-)
