There is a trojan horse going around masquerading as an email advertising CNN videos.

Clicking a link within the email sends you to a fake CNN page that instruct you to update "Adobe Flash Player" or "Video ActiveX Object". In reality, the "flash player" download they provide is a trojan horse.

As of this morning, there are five of these fraudulent messages lurking in my Junk Folder. If your email server doesn't provide good spam protection, keep a lookout for these messages finding their way into your Inbox.
