Risky stuff. Tommy Toes knows all about this kind of thing, I'd put a call out to him if I were you.

Twice in the past 3 months ive been hit with the same type of virus. I got an email last week supposedly from UPS. I used UPS last month so never thought of any problem with the email. Once i opened it up it sent my computer mental and i had this Internet Security 2010 trying to get my bank details also.
