Hi,
This may or may not be a repost, i dunno, i havnt been on for the last couple of days.
But anyway.
I just recieved a very fancy email. Supposidly from MS.
It looks just like something MS would send.
About a "cumulative patch". Dont run it. Lucky AVG picked it up before i did anything, and its now gone.
Just a warning to you all.

Heres a screenshot of the message bty.

Yep, it is wormy. This email has been around for a couple of weeks.

MS does not send out email notification on critical or any other updates.

Thats what alerted me to it before AVG kicked in.
Last time MS sent me a file it ended up being a virus!.
Lucky, i knew better this time.

Gotta admit though, alot of effort has been put into that email. Almost had me convinced. From that alone i would congratulate the virus creater, but then i would realise that his/her virus tryed to set up shack on my rig. The rig that i just spent a whole 2 days getting to work. And then i think "cheaky fcuker"!.
