Hi Ray I've relocated the Trojan. Its called "Email.TrojanGZC". I've also seen references to this same GZC thing on an anti virus forum, where someone was describing the exact same origin - a postal delivery message. It may be also relevant to tell you that I've been getting a lot of spam mail originating from references to a village website that I help with. They are requests to become members of this Drupal-based website. I just delete the majority of them, but some seem genuine and I admit them onto the site. They just keep coming though - have I been targeted? Is there a connection with this Trojan? What should I do?
