New virus disguised as IE7 download

A new virus is out that disguises itself as a download of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 browser, with a supposedly particularly convincing looking e-mail driving user infections.

This one is particulary unusual in that it's executed just from clicking on a link and doesn't require an application to be run - which is ominous for the future.

All major security vendors are either blocking the virus in their definition files, or soon will be. Advice is, as usualy, to keep your anti virus software up to date.
