A few days ago, some malware authors went on a campaign and sent out spam about the new U.S. president, Barack Obama.

The example of the spam that is posted at Sophos contain three paragraphs and a link. The link directs the user to a news site and a pop-up message will show. The message tries to tell the user that he or she needs to update their Adobe Flash version to view the video in the site. Therefore, they need to download an .exe file which turns out to be a malicious Trojan horse.

It is detected as Mal/Behav-027 or Mal/Heuri-E.
