I received this from one of my regional user groups. Anyone care to jump in and answer Del (and educate me)?
Is there some Mac Trojan that's flying under the radar?

RE: Reunion.com
If you received any missives from me about subscribing
or viewing this site, please disregard!
I called their Tech Support. Another account was
created from one of my 3 email accounts. Message to
log on was sent to my EntireAddressBook!
I apologize. I've been on the phone with them for 2
days. I created an account in 2005 to locate High
School buddies for a reunion in Tucson. In the mean,
somehow, someone created a new account I don't
recognize with a user name and password not supplied
by me in June 2008! The most amazing mystery is that
Renunion.com said I supplied an email address from my
AT&T/sbcglobal account with my Personal sbc account
password from my personal account and asked my entire
address book to be notified! This has never happened
to me on a Mac!
Now, not only has my Address Book been comprimised,
but any on-line discussion lists are receiving this
garbage. The only Discussion List I visit is Apple,
AUGD. How can this happen?
Also, when I go to Renunion.com, I get a page listing
3 viruses on my Macs. Spyware.IEMonster.b
Zlob.PornAdvertiser.Xplisit
Trojan.InfoStealer.Banker.s
I don't go to porn sites, rarely to Bank site except
to pay bills online, and Spyware??? They were listed
on my AntiVirus software as Critical, High, and
Medium! When I googled them I couldn't tell if they
were PC virii. I'm using, on my Macs, CrossOver, but
do not yet have Windoze loaded so I'm befuddled???
I deleted my Reunion.com account(s), but I am not sure
about why you and I are receiving virus alerts.
I also had to re-set my AirPort and sbc/mozilla
account passwords, etc.
Safari is working now but now the preferred
MozillaFireFox.
Please let me know if you ever received any previous
comms from me on Reunion.com.
I assure you, they were not originated nor soliticed
by me.
Isn't the Internet wonderful? Thanks,
DelSpendingThreeDaysOnThisCrap.
Oh yeah, the deleted accounts on Reunion.com may take
3-4 days to be non-active.
