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.

This week I have seen a resurgence of the “MSN Featured Offers” scam, this time from Canadian Pharmacy, pushing Viagra and other pharmaceuticals.

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”.

Spam spoofing my own email address as from admin at microsoft.com. It is fake and not from Microsoft.
Don’t click on “Download the latest version!” which links to the infecter, ‘update.exe’, and no fireworks will occur.
Internet Explorer 7
Download the latest version!

Needless to say, Microsoft does not send spam. Please don’t click unsubscribe links and buttons coming from spam messages, doing so would only serve to confirm your email is working and ready to receive more of the same.
Never click on the hidden links.
