QUOTE: Malware is being distributed disguised as a video of her. First, an e-mail with the subject line "Hillary Clinton Full Video !!!" arrives advertising a video of her speaking to supporters in Virginia. The link goes through a redirect on Google (a common technique these days) and downloads a file mpg.exe, a trojan downloader which downloads a file named inst241.exe. This file (detected by Symantec as Trojan.Srizbi). So far the volume appears to be low.
