Got my copy of the spam today... Links to something called value_bar

I hope Google can do something to kill this.

Anybody downloaded this? I can't assume that anyone on this board would be so ingnorant... but there's always a first ;)

I'd like to know if this is a bar that will hijack the browser, or give you a virus, or FEED you popups from their advertisers.

Interesting find... Spammers are shameless. They've got to go.

The puntuation in the original letter was bad. that's a sure giveaway that it's not from a multi million org.
