Emails embedded with fake Britney Spears and Paris Hilton Google search links are part of a new spam botnet that leads users to malware hosted by the notorious Russian Business Network (RBN).

Once someone clicks on an e-mail link to the site offering the videos they are directed to a malware-infested URL that downloads and executes more rootkit or spambot malware on their computers, and then forwards itself to other people in affected users’ e-mail directories with links back to the Trojan downloader site.

Once downloaded and executed, the malicious downloader, dubbed by BitDefender analysts Trojan.Downloader.Exchange.A, downloads and executes more rootkit/spambot malware, which spams users with links to the trojan downloader.
