From: "Lil' Abner" <blvstk@dogpatch.com>
| Ran across one yesterday; forgot to write it down, but it started with "P".
| All kinds of Spanish popups and browser was hijacked.
| But the interesting thing was that it had created a new passworded user
| account called "Administrare". While the "owner" account still had
| administrative priviledges, it still wouldn't allow task manager and other
| administrative functions to run.
| I managed to delete the phony account in Safe Mode. Then between SAS and
| Spybot S&D I managed to get rid of it.
| It (a laptop) was loaded with other stuff too, but it all cleaned up
| nicely. Not sure where he got it but I noticed in his history he had been
| to a multitude of penis enlargement sites.
| Had a notion to ask him about that, but I don't know him that well :-).

Too bad you didn't grab samples. :-(
