If anyone has been plagued with emails purporting to be CNN top 10 news stories or emails saying that your flash plaer is out of date and needs upgrading or that your PDF reader ( usually Adobe) is also out of date and needs updating DO NOT FOLLOW THESE LINKS they are vicious spyware The emails themselves appear genuine and are copies of genuine ones BUT and its a BIG one the links they lead to are .EXE files that are not what they say. DELETE all such emails until the anti virus guys get ahead of this game. Its harder then usual as the Virus is not in the email itself but is downloaded as a result of following the link which you believe is to update something like your PDF reader or your FLASH player is another one they are using.That is the point at which you will be infected.

If you want the latest PDF Reader or FLASH player go direct to ADOBE own site and get it for yourself!!
