[Albert Smit]

Hi, my girlfriend found herself with almost a hundred users in her
contactlist... She did not add the users herself,
I cannot find any virus at first sight, she does have the latest
virusdefinitions available. Furthermore she uses Windows XP Prof, SP1 with
all available
security updates installed and uses Messenger 6.1. She also has ZoneAlarm
( free standard version) running on het PC.
Has anyone seen this before? what happened ?

tnhx beforhand,

Albert Smit

Greetings Albert,

Were they actually added to the actual contact list itself, or did they just appear on the
"you were added..." windows? Assuming the later, she may just have been the victim of a
contact list adder bomb (either randomly or otherwise), in which case, just block the
contacts.
