And this is a true one, our email server at work is being bombarded at the moment. Currently receiving around 10 per minute, so be on your guard.

Detail: this is the newest one.

Subject is "CNN Alerts: My custom alerts", the links in these emails which looks perfectly genuine including the cnn graphics are links to a piece of malware, do not click the links otherwise you may spend the rest of the day removing the junk. The link goes to a random website which has been hacked, and then comes up with a message saying that you need to update an application (usually shockwave) to play a video. The file it downloads and installs is a virus which is very difficult to remove.

The second one,

subject is "CNN.com Daily Top 10". as above looks like a legit email, but a quick look at the hyperlinks shows that it links to a site in belgium and this will install the same junk as the newer one above.

A dead giveaway is the from email address, its a random email address that has nothing to do with cnn at all.

Trust me, this is genuine, I have an infected machine next to me that I am working on trying to remove it.

We've had a few of those arrive in the office this morning.

I had the second sat in my inbox until about 2 mins ago

CNN Alerts: My Custom Alert (new) at Malware Database

had quite a few on the lappy at home over the past week or two

just deleted them

Getting sick of the sight of these. Google has stopped forwarding them but outlook isn't blocking them from other accounts I use.

Anyone getting the ones from Admin@microsoft?

Haven't seen this one yet, but have had lots of "UPS Delivery report" ones - have a .zip attachment containing a .scr or .exe

Just got my laptop back from the 'menders', received an E-mail

supposedly from Grisoft, instructed me to download something as

security, computer locked up and was infected apparently.

Anyone else getting E-mail from 'Grisoft' beware:(

Just had this in my inbox

another 2 CNN.com deleted
