I was informed of this fantastic video last night, and today I get an email about the very same thing. I paste:
Might not be true, but at least be careful.

Lewiston girl responsible for the most PC infections worldwide!!!
Record number of Macs being infected. Mozilla Firefox hammered by vulnerabilities.
Per ThreatNet -- the Worldwide Threat Level Is High
You should take extra precautions in your computing practices this week.
Active Threats - Be Aware
1. There is spam circulating that tries to lure Internet users to malicious web sites. The spam promises a "Peep hole" video of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews undressing in a hotel room. The spam then delivers Zbot-like Trojans to both Macs and PCs. The PC version then downloads rogue anti-malware and tells you to buy it.
2. A new vulnerability has been detected in Firefox, but late reports indicate it can only lead to a stack-overflow crash which isn't exploitable. This is not the same as the vulnerability that led to the Firefox update (version 3.5.1) late last week.
3. The two serious vulnerabilities in Microsoft's products that were reported recently remain unpatched. Exploits are in the wild.
4. An ActiveX vulnerability used by Internet Explorer to display Excel spreadsheets can allow remote code execution (Security Advisory 973472).
5. Video ActiveX Control vulnerability allows an attacker to run arbitrary code (Security Advisory 972890).
GOOGLE SEARCHES (For Ms Andrews) ARE LEADING TO INFECTIONS...DON’T DO IT!!!
