I've seen 7 pcs infected with thinkpoint in 3 days.
Common denominator seems to be gumtree though I can't get it pinned down.

Before today I thought it was a spoof Facebook email.

i agree regarding gum tree, it has happened to hubby twice, (2nd time last night, and i'm the one who has to sort it :mad: )only seems to be when he is looking at cars though, i'm sure he thinks it's me trying to put him off buying

No exactly new or a threat to all computer users. My current OS means this is not a threat to me, and most savvy users with a basic understanding of phishing would be safe.

unfortunatley not in your case
