If you mean my ISP it's Plusnet. No emails have been downloaded on the
infected machine--the worm gets in through a vulnerable port. As the
supplied firewall ICF was unable to prevent it: I will install Zone Alarm
before downloading the patches and updates that XP informs me are necessary.


Just curious. I've set up three people with NTL broadband on clean machines
with new media in the last week, each one of them was infected with Welchia
before the sign-up process was complete.
