It's a variant that only spews the spam, it doesn't spread itself. It was downloaded and installed by machines infected by the Sober variant that was spreading and stopped spreading last week.

It's using computers infected with the previous version of Sober for spam distribution.

The links in this version aren't malicious, but as the others say, the next version may well be.
