americangreetingsc.net

Something like this was also the payload on a recent americangreetingsc.net spam. Curious as to the latest scamming strategy, the "Flash installer" was digitally signed by someone distinctly not Macromedia but I guess would have got round some warnings about unsigned downloads. AVG now picks it up with latest updates as "Downloader.Generic4.XYX", thankfully.
