Microsoft Client

this is the latest version of security update, the "September 2003, Cumulative Patch" update which resolves all known security vulnerabilities affecting MS Internet Explorer, MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express as well as three newly discovered vulnerabilities. Install now to protect your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could allow an malicious user to run code on your system.

and an Attachemant, from this Adress

zwartveld@ender.nl; im Auftrag von; Microsoft [ylrxqn@technet.com]

i have not opened the Attachemant, but that is kurios, i not use IE, i am using Mozilla Firebird, and who in the hell does MS have my E-mail.

i think that is a fake, so patient all Members here.

All the emails I get from MS directs me either to windows update or an MS website to download the patch. I have never recieved a email from MS with the patch attached to the email

Do NOT open it. Not only is it fake, it contains a VIRUS! :|

MS does NOT send updates or patches via email, nor do they send emails unless you've signed up for a newsletter.

virus is W32.Swen.A@mm
go to www.sarc.com it is #1 on the recent threat list.
( i had 26 copies in my admin mailbox today. i sent file to symantec to identify - they sent a beta definition file. i hope none of my users clicked on it - typically all virus are scrubbed before they ever get to a user....)
good luck to all you IT guys.

I noticed that Symantec had a small "definition" update yesterday. ;)

Arseholes who do this ought to be drawn and quartered! :|
