computer virus Part 2

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Commenting on the attack a Google spokesperson said: "The blog posts are likely from users' whose machines have been compromised by a virus. "We are in the process of notifying impacted users and recommending that they scan their computers and run current anti-virus tools--good advice for all internet users," they added. "The criminals responsible for this spam campaign are experts at exploiting social engineering to propagate their botnets," said Bradley Anstis from security firm Marshal. The spam messages have been changed to capitalise on news events and the viral payload has been updated many times to fool anti-virus programs. Security experts estimate that the group can send out so much junk mail because they have hijacked so many Windows PCs via successive campaigns. Some suspect that the group has infected more than one million PCs over the last eight months.

I have been infected, which is the reason I need to put this in 2 parts - I no longer can cut and paste. It never showed up on any of my security programs:ZoneAlarm, SpySweeper,Spyblaster(did find some compromised sites) SpyBot Search & Destroy AVG antivirus, anti-spy,rootkit detector, Ccleaner, & on & on. I bought a new computer mine was so infected.
