1. Do u pop your gmail or use the web based interface?
Not that it really matters, the reason behind this trojan could be one
virus mail that got past your virus shield(s).
2. Are your virus / spyware signatures up-to-date?
This is very important, do update the virus signature database
regularly. This should help as most of the av
softwares have regular, if not frequent updates of the signature database.
3. If you are using the web interface, try using fx-2 or ie-7?
I'm not sure if it will make any difference, but the above browsers
are much more secure than the previous versions.
Peace,
