A quick heads up, if anybody hasn't heard:

At 1900GMT today, ET phones home, and picks up the next payload of
instructions.  Nobody knows (yet) what they'll be, but SoBig-E erased itself,
put in a password grabber, and then installed a mail proxy for spammer use.

This one *may* just play the theme song from Bozo the Clown and erase itself,
but I severely doubt it's gonna be that nice.
