All I can say is IDIOTS! If they (CNN) are going to publish info about
that ongoing spewage, they could AT LEAST tell what it is.

It's not spam, each of these messages links to another of thousands
infected malware download sites. It's well enough to say "don't open
it", but they really could tell their customers that it is malware, not
spam!

Anyway, thanks for publishing the link, Randy.

Man oh man, I have been getting at least 2 a day from CNN. Couldn't figure
out why, as I didn't open any, but they sure are annoying to say the least!
Luckily my server shoved them in my bulk folder, so my DELETE key has been
very busy last week. LOL

Thanx for the link Randy, appreciated.

Hi all,

Trend Micro detect him as:
HTML_AGENT.AVYZ and put them in Quarantine
In the Adobe flash player that they want you to download.
Got 2 mails so far.
