I got an email from ntlworld this morning, saying there had been complaints from some people about the spam emanating from my account. I was a tad surprised, since I'm very careful to protect my computer from invasion, but I have been away and perhaps the children had let something through.
The attachment was password protected. I opened it. (oh dear!)
The worm bagel was in the attachment. Since I was suspicious the first thing I did after opening the thing was to update and run my antivirus (something I do at least once a day). It cleaned out the problem. I'll goto Trend and check that everything has gone after this.
So beware - don't open the exe file ntl sends you! I've sent a copy of the email to support at ntl. Is there anywhere else I should send it?
