Did you advise Google as well?
Look for an ISA 2004 blocking filter today...

Not sure who this should go to, but I received an email the other day
and it is advertising the google toolbar. It installs a toolbar, but not
googles. Looks sketchy to me and similar to other phishing attempts. URL
to valuebar_setup.exe was in email.
