One of the many email addresses that Zero Degrees' Outlook plug-in found yesterday (see earlier piece), was the 'secret' email address that TypePad provides to post entries to Typepad blogs. So I discovered an entry at my www.aworkingmodel.com website (which is a TypePad blog) that is an invitation to Zero Degrees.

Check it out: A Working Model: Connect with me in ZeroDegrees?.

I discovered this because Jason Hardebeck, a friend who had the same circumstances befall him, posted a comment on the entry, and I was notified by email. Sheesh. As he says in the comment, it will take weeks before the impacts of installing this "virus" are all cleaned up.

[Note: Got a warning from Peter Quintas, of Silk Road, that the "click here for more information" link created by Zero Degrees in the email (now disabled) exposed my secret email address, so people could have posted who knows what at my company website.]
