Check you haven't just changed folders.

Don't visit sex sites.

Any idea of what the file was or what happened when you ran it would
be helpful.
Also, if you're running Windows XP, you may want to try System
Restore.

Never even got a chance to leave my card !!!
There were just two posts on the site and one was from a Johnny Foreigner
!!!
It looks like there are no other folders...? Would the synchronization
settings have anything to do with anything ???

I found the likely thread in cam.misc, but the original message was
deleted. Many claimed the attachment was a virus, but no one said
which virus.
A similar message contained the trojan described here.

It's possible that's what you got as well.
