CNN.com Daily Top 10 e-mail is spam! CNN.com Daily Top 10 e-mail has no relation with the honest CNN.com. CNN.com Daily Top 10 e-mail is a spam e-mail sent to you by hackers to download Trojan-Downloader.Agent.EL into your computer system!

CNN.com Daily Top 10 makes you believe it’s an e-mail sent by CNN.com with the top ten stories of the day, but when you click on any of the stories in this e-mail you’ll be closer to the latest 2008 rip-off. The link you clicked on will take you to a corrupt website that will try to scam you into believing you need the latest Flash player to view the site. Innocently, you’re most likely going to download the update file get_flash_update.exe. Get_flash_update.exe is actually (drumroll please…) Trojan-Downloader.Agent.EL!

As soon as Trojan-Downloader.Agent.EL infects your computer, you’ll be exposed to fake anti-spyware programs like Antivirus XP 2008 which may later cause annoying popups and fake warning notifications. Also, your Windows Registry may be modified.

Your desktop may be hijacked and a warning message will “inform” you about supposed spyware infections. There is more, your screensaver is probably going to change to SysInternals BlueScreen Screen Saver. Finally, your operating system may crash and display the BSOD (Blue screen of death). BSOD’s message may read:

“PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
PANIC_STACK_SWITCH
MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS_EXCEEDED
NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS
BAD_POOL_HEADER
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
BOGUS_DRIVER
SYSINTERNALS_GREAT_SITE
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP”
