First, one of the things it does is to change your "More information" home page link in your profile to a scripted link - this is what allowed it to infect people who viewed the profile of those infected. So... To really get rid of it. Clear all browser cache and cookies. Log in to Twitter. In your profile change your home page back to the correct link. Then go change your password. Twitter actually got onto this one pretty quick and shut down the leak that allowed it to happen, so I think you're okay if you follow those steps. David_N_Wilson on Twitter... There’s a bit more.

According to the Mashable article (http://mashable.com/2009/04/11/stalkdaily-twitter/) this was written in Javascript, and that the script was hosted at a site other than Twitter.com. So something like the NoScript addon for Firefox should also be some protection. Also, it appears to grab the cookie set in your browser when you ask Twitter to "remember me" at your login. Logging out of Twitter via your browser. and/or not using the "remember me" feature, should also help some, I suspect. Helpful info.
