Has anyone run across this before? It showed up in one of my other email accounts this evening. When you go to the site it displays a message about 'Image Browser Not Supported'. What this links to is a file called american.exe. It appears to be a win32 binary containing some sort of file archive. Unfortunately I don't have good facilities (or expertise, really) for figuring out what this thing does. If anyone with more windows expertise wants to take a look, you can grab the file from the site, or I can forward a copy. I'm guessing it's some sort of trojan. (The reason this makes me suspicious is that the rest of the site appears to be entirely bogus. The first supplied url is www.greetingcardsusa.cc, but all the links from the page go to americangreetingz.net, which doesn't resolve. Also, the american.exe link is just an ip. It reverse-resolves to paypalgreen.com, which also looks rather weird.)
I have recieved one in the past, but the site did exist back then. This was a couple of months ago though. I had no idea who the message was from...
