I run a spyware cleaner on my computers 3 times a week but I suspect some of you have never run one. A British Credit Card company is claiming that a e-mail that was sent to the company earlier in the year carried a payload that allowed desktops to be monitored and calling home to mama.

This is the first that I have heard of this and if it turns out to be true then it would be relative easy to infiltrate the average persons computer which is a very scary thought. [ZDNet]
