The email includes a convincing graphic that looks like from Microsoft, and the virus is downloaded to user’s computer when he clicks on a download link. Instead of an attachment there is a link to download IE7 Beta 2 so it’s hard to prevent the email from dropping in the inbox. Continue reading ‘IE7 Virus in my Inbox’
