Hey Ken!
Thanx for the heads-up. Here is one for you all...
I hate to say this, but you most likely picked up this bug while surfing, especially if you are in the habit of using traffic exchange programs that require you surf other sites for credit/ traffic to your own.
I did an experiement not long ago, with traffic exchanges and surfing, and picked up a whole host of web nasties in the process.
For anyone who is interested, feel free to read my article on the subject:

Traffic exchanges are dangerous business when it comes to the health of your computer system.
Another problem area that you can help yourself with is the browser you use. If you are still using MS Internet Explorer, STOP! Using IE is like having unsafe sex with a prostitute.
Get Fire Fox by Mozilla instead. Much safer and it's free: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=user/register&r=23900
I did this experiment using IE and FireFox both, and got fewer nasties when using FF. I wrote the article based on my Fire Fox findings. However, the nasties I picked up when I did the same test in IE showed twice the number of malicious attacks as did the FF test.
I hope this helps...
