MSN Featured Offers catch all

This spam looks like the recent ones pushing pharmaceuticals.

Except this time “One-stop for all your meds here” hid an url to globalmarketingsolutions where I landed on what appeared to be a real estate page containing a lot of links. Clicking on one of them brought this up.

Searching in Google I was warned, “this site may harm your computer”.

MSN Featured Offers, Spam from Canadian Pharmacy

Infector Spam ‘Free Update Windows XP,Vista’

Fake IE7 email Spam

Spam posing as MSN Featured Offers

Hit delete when it appears in your mailbox, and again do not click the ‘unsubscribe’ link contained in the spam. Doing that would just confirm to spammers that your email address is alive and working.

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”.
