Fake IE 7 update spam doing the rounds

A number of readers have alerted us to a round of IE7 update spam being sent out. The e-mails read:


You are receiving this e-mail because you subscribed to MSN Featured Offers.
Microsoft respects your privacy. If you do not wish to receive this MSN Featured

Well, true enough Microsoft will not be responsible as its not from them! (Shock / Horror).

For the sample we received, VT has good coverage:
