I've gotten the same bogus Blacklight Power emails from three separate independent Email accounts. All the same bogus URLs. Apparently, others have gotten the same bogus email alerts as well. Most of the analysis expressed so far seems to describe various symptoms. What is causing the symptoms?

I googled "press the red button". All sorts of hits came up - most pointing to the same annoying red button app. It appears to be a harmless app. Here are some Googled searched comments: http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=9644 http://www.mostfungames.com/do-not-press-the-red-butto
