USNEWS update Virus Email

I received this message in my junk email. So, obviously something isn't right about it to start with. I checked the link that was enclosed in the email and it tried to download an executable file automatically. I have not had a chance to look at that file yet, but this strikes me as a possible virus. If you receive an email like this don't follow the links or forward it to anyone, just DELETE IT.

The following is the break down of the major parts of the message I received.

Here is the subject of this scam email:

Improve Cashflow! SUGGESTED ...

This email was supposedly sent by:
