[SI-LIST] More on Viruses

I received two email messages today which I read using Internet Explorer since 
I am using a friend's computer away from home.  The net result was a 
proliferation of IExp full-screen windows which overloaded the system resources 
and, in the first instance, required a HARD shutdown.

Feeling guilty at the possibility of compromising a friend's computer, I ran a 
Norton Antivirus scan and the BugBear removal tool.  Neither found anything 
and, after deleting the offending messages, I have not seen any overt symptoms.

Any ideas / suggestions?
