QUOTE: The release of Microsoft’s next major operating system, Windows 7, is at hand. It’s timely to remind everyone that we have seen Windows 7 spam for a few months. Anything on this scale from Microsoft is too big a lure for spammers and cybercriminals to ignore. (I would be stunned if they didn’t take advantage.) We’ve seen subjects that include:

Microsoft Windows 7 special offers
Windows 7 SP 2
Windows 7 FAQ on release
Today’s Special Gateway Laptop + NEW Windows 7 & More Electronics Deals
Windows7 ultimate 86% off
Windows7 ultimate 57% off

We at McAfee Labs have noticed these throughout both September and October–with spikes as high as 1.88 percent of total spam. That might sound like a small number, but when you consider that daily spam volumes can reach 160 billion messages, it is not insignificant.
