For those of you who didn't pick it up it seemed to happen after you clicked the link that led (appropriately) to "You are an idiot".

Ohoh.
How did you clean up?
I probably have it too.

Norton Anti Virus picked it up on a file at location "Documents and settings/....[you1]" I followed the instructions on Norton/Symantec's website for getting rid of trojan horses, basically temporarily disable system restore, restart in safe mode, find the infected files, delete said files and delete all temporary internet files ...

The relevnat stuff I think is search documents and settings, including hidden files and folders for files including "you1" as part of the filename and delete them (I found 2), then delete all temporary internet files. I think this does it but I wasn't 100% sure which is why I was asking for help too.

Any help from anyone more knowledgeable who thinks I should be doing something else too would be appreciated.

Good Luck.
