Do Not Download the “Latest Version of Internet Explorer 7.0” Especially if the link is being served through an unsolicited email.
Whatever you do, do not touch the latest version of Internet Explorer 7.0 when the download is advertised via unsolicited emails. According to security company Lavasoft, a wave of spammed emails is inciting recipients with the perspective of installing the latest release of IE7. This is, of course, not the case. First off, Microsoft has not released a new version of IE7, and is not planning to do so, as it is currently focusing its resources on building Internet Explorer 8, whose second Beta is planned for the end of this month.
"Look out for email messages that urges users to download the latest version of Internet Explorer 7.0. The email seems to be sent from admin@microsoft.com in order to make it look legitimate. The download link ‘Download the latest version Internet Explorer 7.0’ points to a [malicious] URL," revealed LS Pekka, Lavasoft Research. "Downloading this malware file to the system results in for example additional downloads of malware onto the infected system, in this case the Rogue application Antivirus XP 2008."
