I got another one for ya

I thought Classmates.com was a decent site..... up until today when I downloaded Spyware Doctor. I found that if you go to a page where thier ad is, a file goes into your temporary internet files. This file, or shall I say .gif tracks AND reports back. An ordinary user has no clue what it is or how to get rid of it. It took me a few tries, but I finally found the culprit. I thought they were a reputable service.
you don't even have to click on their ad to be infected. It just has to be on a page you're looking at. Hmmmmm phisher, maybe?
