Hi,

Please forgive the cross-posting.

Panic call from my Dad.  He opened an email message that he thought was 
some kind of expose about a McCain ad.  Apparently this email infected 
his machine with AntiVirXP08.  A quick Google search indicates this 
program is a fake anti-virus program that lures people into buying it, 
while it installs spyware and other malware on their systems.  Anyone 
here know about this thing?
