New virus, old scam. Who falls for these any more?
There is another trick they sometimes use:
They rename the executable something like www.cnn.com .
.com files are run the same as .exe files
And more people are foolish enough to think that they are following a link.
I have to give my ISP (BellSouth/ATT) credit on this one. All I got were cleaned messages and a note from the e-postmaster saying they deleted the virus from the emails.
