I've actually wondered lately how many people on the VFB may have been hit by this. The traffic in the last few days has been slow. My husband downloaded the patch for this long before it hit and I haven't seen anything come my way that even contained a virus. I do have my email account set up to send me an email also if someone tries to harvest my addresses. I haven't seen anything yet.
