[Spridgets] Email Problems

[fastvee]

My apologies to the list for two previous empty messages. My replies were somehow trimmed when I sent them, and I have since resubscribed from my other email account. I am baffled, and hope it is not related to an infection of windefender 2009 scareware on Tuesday. FYI, A popup appears telling you it has discovered activity at your firewall and tries to redirect you to their download site where their worm is implanted, which has the ability to send your info, passwords, and screen shots back to the sender. I followed manual instructions to clear the hidden files from my registry and temp folder and have used the computer without problems until this morning. I have updated Symantic AV, Spybot Search&Destroy, and AdAware, and none caught the scareware download. If one of these scareware popups appears  on your computer, DO NOT click on it anywhere. Closing the browser immediately or unplugging the CPU seems to be the only safe method to avoid infection.
