"The websites are hosting a page that is similar to previous Rustock web pages. This page is shown below, the media player is really just an image. A popup box created with JavaScript claims that you will need a new version of 'Video ActiveX Object' to play the video. Shortly after loading, the browser will ask to download the file video98.exe. Running this file will install the Rustock spam bot."
