It looks like a bad one, too -- CryptoSMS

The SMS part stands for "Super-Malicious Software." It actually
causes your CPU to overheat by forcing it to calculate the value of Pi
to the last digit.

It will also cause CRT monitors to generate hypnotic orgone rays,
which cause permanent insanity in a matter of minutes... but you can't
tear your eyes away, no matter how hard you try.

What will the troublemakers think of next?

It also causes the keyboard to overheat by rapidly flashing the Caps
key indicator. Most cheap keyboard circuit boards made in China then
release PCBs which leach through the skin on your fingers.

its not a virus
it is a method of encrypting email and newspost

the html runs a script, the script actually downloads from reputable
source

funny thing, my posts have not been making it to the board
I posted this same poast early this morning...it still has not showed
up.
I dowloaded under windows limited user acct (limited user is not
allowed to install)
so it was safe to download and inspect the file.

it's a shareware software, all told, someone is just selling
software...
that's all..
spam
