Its not your fault, Im nosy  8)  I did let it dl the .eml file  but as to how 
I got all those and such was wierd..  They even migrated to samba shares(and 
winboxes) somehow.  I visited one page (206.230.156.209) with I.E. and closed 
all open window  imdeiately then trie dwith konquerer figured Id be safe.

however i found (400 not 4000) on my linuxbox and exactly 198 on each winbox 
that was up at the time.  both had infected load.exe in windows/system/ and 
then a *.eml in every folder on the box...

truly wierd..
