Viruses Found on HTML Attachments within Recent Emails

The spammers are at it again (not that they ever stop).  Recently there have been a number of extremely short emails that include an .html attachment.  Please do not open the html attachment! Even though it is an html file, it executes a nasty script that will install malware on your system.  Due to the extremely short nature of the message, they often look like something of urgency encouraging a click on the attachment.

The sad part about all of this is the people who created this virus are not even the cream of the crop, the top of the line hackers.  They are actually some of the weakest web coders around and it is disappointing that their poor efforts at writing encrypted coding are getting any type of reward.  If you feel the need please report the spam abuse in an effort to stop these guys.
