The program looks for the line with the password and sends the data back to its company.

It's obvious they want to gather emails. They will succeed as long people don't take this serious and still trust microsoft for them to prevent any malicious software to get on the computer. I've heard about spammers to take a famous band like u2 and make a myspace fanclub out of this. A lot of people then leave their emails as friends behind and get spammed. Easiest way to get rid of this then is to use emails that are easy to replace, I always recommend this when using myspace or making comments on forums/guestbooks.
