"Your intuit.com order confirmation" spam / curchamp.com (74.207.245.244)

This fake "Intuit order" spam leads to malware. Apparently it was sent from Careerbuilder (which is kind of odd). Also note the "spoofing" warning near the bottom!

The link goes through two legitimate hacked sites and ends up on curchamp.com/search.php?page=73a07bcb51f4be71 (report here) which is hosted on 74.207.245.244 (Linode, US). This attempts to use a variety of exploits to take over the user's PC.

Blocking the IP rather than the domain will also stop any other malicious domains on the same server.
