MS Net Patch

I am only posting this courtesy message to all because I have received the same “Newest Net Patch” from “Microsoft” at least 100 times in the last 2 days.  It’s a very authentic looking email complete with instructions and a 156k file to run.

Needless to say, it’s obviously a virus.  Delete it at once.

Microsoft Partner

this is the latest version of security update, the “September 2003, Cumulative Patch” update which fixes all known security vulnerabilities affecting MS Internet Explorer, MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express as well as three newly discovered vulnerabilities.

Update:This bulletin explains it all.  I am now getting 1 email every 5 minutes.  A tidal wave!

If you want my recommendation, remove MS Outlook from your system.  Use Pegasus Mail instead.  It’s even free.
