Apparently a bunch of pretty high profile IIS running sites have been 
cracked and had javascript inserted on their pages that will attempt to 
install a trojan that turns the target into a spam zombie. Looks like 
this one may be from some real black hat types. Not that I don't pretty 
much always say this, but: Don't Browse the web w/IE on windows (at 
least for a while).
