FYI, I just had one from Citibank.

This one had the Phishy Webpage trojan embedded in the page.

Phishy is a keylogger, logs your keystrokes and various webpages and then mails them off to the hacker.

I can vouch for Zonealarm - I`ve used it for ages and it`s very surprising how many attacks it stops.

It seems if you get an email from an African businessman who is trying to smuggle 6.000.000.000 dollars out of the country you have 2 options.....
1 Just delete the email
2 Join these guys and bait the b#####d {-}
