Watch this one. Looks like a scam that has been going around. Don't
get sucked in.

If in doubt, go to MS site and download direct from them. Best odds
of
gettng a clean down load.

I feel sorry for anybody who fell for that one, Microsoft never send
out unsolicited e-mail all updates are request only. Anyhow all
updates would never fit in a 155Kb file, however good antivirus
software usually catches that one immediately. Mailwasher is good at
marking suspect email, however it takes too long bouncing mail to be
anygood to me. I'm on a pay per second service so the time it spends
bouncing mail is too long. I haven't found a way to set it to only
delete from my ISP's server to reduce time.

I managed to get around my spam problem by using a dummy return
address and never placing my real email address in the body of a
message or my sig. I beleive you can protect your own address book by
placing a dummy address as the first one in the list, when a worm
tries to process this it fails. This simple step is supposed to
prevent a worm from trying further addresses in you book.
