Think you've won a MacBook Air? Beware email malware attack

Apple's super-skinny MacBook Air is one of the most desirable laptops on the planet - which means it's not too surprising if criminals try and take advantage of its allure to infect unsuspecting computer users.

And that's exactly what hackers are doing today in a malicious email campaign that has been spammed widely out across the internet.

Unsuspecting computer users may find an email with the subject line "Congratulations" in their inbox this morning, telling them that they "have won todays Macbook Air" and that they should open the attached file (called winner.zip) for more information.
