Beware fake IE 7 downloads

There is spam out there that tries to get you to download IE 7.  It’s fake, of course.  When you click on the image, you are then offered to download a trojan (Sunbelt Sandbox analysis here, VirusTotal results here).  Antivirus coverage is mediocre.

And just for fun, check out the source code of this spam.
