@Guru, have you seen this? (not 64-bit though)

New Version, Spybot S & D

I got that last night when I opened S & D to do a scan.

I am using the latest version of S&D. My problem is 32-bit apps don't work with the 64-bit registry properly. I check for updates each time.

This CNN thing is really making rounds - I have a honeypot email address that is getting something on the order of 5-10 of these per day, and that is just one email address - and I have 10....

I have already seen close to 70 of these suckers now - and they keep coming.

BTW, anyone not familiar with the site - the board has a habit of displaying the web page title when we post URLs, but the URL is to a site called BleepingComputer, a ***very* good site for security and end user tutorials

I get 10+ a day. I put a rule to delete them and reported it to my ISP to block.
