Confirms what I've found.
Running XP Home, Windows Firewall, an AV and Windows Beta anti-spyware. The AV and anti-spyware make me feel better, but their primary purpose is to confirm the absence of problems.

The bad guys are using social engineering, maybe because the technical problems are too much work and unnecessary.

Gives you a different perspective on the insecurity complaints around here, doesn't it?! If you won't get a problem without asking for it foolishly and they find problems...
