Bank of America Password Infiltrator Trojan

An email supposed to be sent from Bank of America, tried to infiltrate my system with a Trojan. The email spam I received from this bank, although I do not have any relation with it, has the same kind of Trojan that uses passwords infiltration to expose all your passwords.

The scam message goes this way:
