Interesting, this morning I was looking for something on ebay, the main page loaded fine, I typed in my search criteria, hit search, and that website decided I wanted to download something called "search.dll" Obviously I didn't let it, but I wonder if that was in any way related to this latest virus going around. I don't know if it was the ebay site that was affected, or if someone hacked the DNS to direct me to an ebay imposter, but ten minutes later, I got the right ebay, and no more attempts to force feed my browser a dll.
