Malware Disguised as IE 7 Download

An email claiming to have an Internet Explorer Beta 2 download is actually a virus.  The email began making rounds this week and has a convincing graphic, making it look like an official message from Microsoft.  In addition there is no attachment, like in other virus related email, but a link to an infected file.  Clicking the link can do serious harm to your PC.  For more information please see the article on Compuworld.com:
