Spammed Trojan email - Avoid Happy New Year Exe attachment

Gift  'Tis the time of year to avoid all e-cards and attachments that might appear to be seasonal in nature.

 QUOTE: Some clown is spamming around an attachment called Happynewyear.exe ... When run, this malware drops a nice Christmas tree to your desktop and Systray. The malware itself (detected as Trojan-PSW:W32/Delf.BBE by our antivirus) steals passwords and other assorted information and sends them to a website.
