I just went to that site, and it has Antivirus software. Geez, these people infect you, make you think it's a removal tool, and then want you to buy their software? What a bunch of jacka$$es.

I doubt very much if Kaspersky had anything to do with the email. It just provides a good cover story for the unsuspecting to run the attachment and thereby get infected.
