Spam with random subjects
June 30th, 2008 by Andreas from Xavier Media® in Antivirus & Security. Topics: Malware, SpamTrend Micro is writing about spam with random subjects not relevant to the actual content in the email. The content in the spam emails in this case are usually on line of text and a link that ends with r.html. The dangerous part of all these kinds of spam is that if you click on the link a file called video.exe will try to install on you computer. The file is actually a malware that will send spam 
via your computer.
The subjects you should look out for are:
- Hiliary admits past failures
- Star Trek star dies at age 79
- Find out about Harry Potter’s last novel
- Turner Empire poised for bankruptcy file
- Obama suffers setback in polls due to sex secrets
- Nokia unveils revolutionary new phone design
- Ford unveils latest 2 door design hatch
- Italy knocked out of Euro 2008
- Britney found hanged in locker room

So the advice here is to look out for spam and never click on links in spam!!!!
