I just installed gContactSync and used its' new feature to synchronize with an address book I had stored on a Plaxo account. The next day there was a flurry of "bad adress returns" associated with a group email sent to all or some of my contacts. It was a link to a "get rich quick scheme" html page set up to make it difficult to navigate out of without giving an "OK" back to the page's code via my browser. I've gone into gContactSync and disabled all synchronization until I get to the bottom of this! In the interim, beware of gContactSync.

Per Josh's reply below....

My browsers and system are kept religiously "up to date" using utilities provided by Comcast Xfinity. This includes Norton's web based support for virus/intrusion protection and the use of a funky utility called Constant Guard which stores encripted login identities and has anti-keylogging features. I do not believe that my system itself is/was compromised but rather something I did on the day I installed gContactSync and used it to synchronize an address list I had on Plaxo with one on gMail that some or all of the addresses I processed went through a 'mailer bot' which grabbed exposed unincripted mail data from somewhare and broadcast it. The one clue I have is that the "reply to" name field on the bad address returns was not the one I generate if I compose new mail from Thunderbird, but rather a variant created by some odd process of unknown origin. The real problem could lie in Thunderbird itself.
