Ah OK..did a little googling myself and it seems that's a file that is used as a backdoor and downloaded into computers - not sure it produces the effects that the o/p was describing, but I guess it's all possible.

In my case this is UK2 and iWeb. Wonder if there is a pattern, especially as they are using my personal one which gets a lot less spam (and is not used much). I' m not suprised on the advertised publicly marketed shop based domain name.

The one I have a little trouble with was bought from UK2.net but is now registered with 123-reg.
