That's funny as the exe won't run and I don't have flash to update.  Nevertheless it looked almost legit and I bet a lot of normal users would get owned.  I did a virus scan on the mac and found a little something in temp that I removed.

Speaking of stupid stuff did you see the two this week from google?  Super long string will unlock android and a mere 16 chars will crash chrome.  I use neither but wow, they suck.
