Apparently that's what they are called.
In case any of you are new to these like me, its a kind of spam email that pops up a screen asking you to enter a username, password and domain name. For those of you on a network, it will look like the screen you get when logging in.
***DONT enter any details*****!
If you do, and press OK- the sender of the mail will receive a reply containing your user credentials and could therefore possibly access your network. And plant horrible things in your network, including a program that records your key strokes etc
Apologies to those who knew this already (apparently there are also things called 'fizzers'). Basic rule continues- never do anything to spam except delete it!
