    Trojan.Peacomm (also known as the Storm Trojan). This spam surge is one of the largest identified surges in the last several months.

    This trojan horse arrives as an attachment to an email purporting to contain a security patch. The email appears to warn the user about a malicious threat and implies that the file attachment is a security patch that will protect the user from this threat. However, the attachment itself is a malicious threat.

    Yeah, and no one ever buys products from spam.

    You can never go broke underestimating stupidity.

    And it is hard to overestimate it too.
