Infector Spam ‘Free Update Windows XP,Vista’

Too many users still open spam, click on links and get infected. So beating on the drum, this is what this particular spam in your mailbox may look like.

Totally bogus, this is SPAM and NOT from Microsoft. The usual install.exe to infect the computer was hidden under “Free Update Windows XP,Vista”.
