It was brought to my attention that a new computer virus is circulating which is banking on your interest in the recent presidential election to lure you in.  Snopes has confirmed that various headlines like:

McCane (sic) dies of a heart attack

Amazing  Speech by Obama

Election Center 2008:  Primary Results

World Welcomes Obama's Win

Barack Obama in Danger - McCain will fight for president post

may appear to be from legitimate news sources but are actually a "prime opportunity for a renewed flood of malware-spreading spam."

Thank you to Victor Provenzano for the heads up on this.
