Virus Alert - "CNN Alerts: My Custom Alert"

[ZWarrior]

There is an email that is passing around that says it is from CNN Alerts, but is actually a virus.  The links in the email will cause you to open a page that will inject a virus into your system.  They use a scrape of the current days news headlines from CNN, and the Full Story link is the only link that is modified.  Very sneaky, but VERY dangerous.
