New spam
I've been getting a bunch of new spam that consists of pdf files to download. Obviously I'm not downloading them, but any idea what's in them?
You've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

I've been getting those too. Probably just an ad for some "placebo"

Re: New spam
A while back when they first started I checked out a few of them and they just contained ads. I had not seen any with viruses in them, but I have not looked at them lately. I just delete them.

Re: New spam
Thought I recently read somewhere that there's a security hole in Flash that could let bad people do bad things to your PC. Since Adobe (PDF) owns Macromedia (Flash) now, I wonder if these are somehow related...

Re: New spam
We've been getting a lot of people call about this issue.
Does anyone know if Symantec (*shiver*), McAfee or anyone else posted an advisory about this?
EDIT: I guess it's a general new method,

Check that out if you interested in some statistics and trends.
