Eric Chien, a senior software engineer at Symantec, wrote in his blog that a number of online bulletin boards are being spammed with this scam.

"Message board spam is nothing new, but what is different about this message board spam is the spam text is actually integrated into legitimate messages posted by real users," he warns. "Don't click on unrelated links in forum postings, e-mail, or IM [Instant Messaging], and definitely avoid executing any files you receive from unsolicited links. If you notice that in your own e-mail, forum postings, or IMs you are sending out odd additional text or URLs, you are likely infected."
