I am well aware that virus writers have, for several years, been harvesting e-mail addresses from the address books on infected computers for use in further distributing their wares. I am now told that they are also harvesting addresses from browser caches and other sources on the infected computers. Is this true? Where can I go for further reading? Thanks, Ken
