They're getting around the update notification now that most of us have
figured it out. I got a message from MS purporting to be an undeliverable
mail notice. Antivirus caught it and (or but) I would have dumped it anyway
as I *don't* get this from MS; my ISP sends such notices.

Another one is that Microsoft is not the only "sender" in the From column.
Again caught but would have been deleted.

You did not receive an update notification from Microsoft. You
received a virus-laden email message from a devious imposter!

A devious imposter is "spoofing" Microsoft and attempting to deceive you
into installing a malicious VIRUS in your computer! Delete the VIRUS
laden message immediately!

Microsoft never sends file attachments with email messages!

I've been suddenly getting about 100 messages a day on security updates,
botched emails from virus senders. Coincidently, this started happening the
same day I signed up for Micrososft's security update newsletter.

How well I know this. I posted as I did to save space. I've sent out the
same advice many posts ago. Ever hear of what "assume" equals when broken
up ? Has to do with a donkey. Guess I made myself one :-/

i have not signed up for the newsletter....i read some of
these posts a few times a week....you do not need to
subscribe to microsoft....i still got 100 emails friday.

i change my email address on ebay and get spoof messages.
then change again and the spoofs change again....prople
think it is fun to hack into places like ebay/microsoft.

your name/computer is out there somewhere...this is like
driving your car down the road.....you are not alone.

No you did not do that. You posted a valid warning about another email
guise (returned email) that the virus is attached to. Considering the
amount of email volume this worm is generating, I don't think an extra
warning (or two or three!) is out of place. Thanks for caring and for
posting this.

Read Sharon's reply to my second post above, the reply to Nicholas. I think
your information should go out as an original post. As she said, all
information is valuable here.

If I could just find a way to STOP them, I have tried message rules, but
when you make one rule the subject or sender changes and it come through
again. I finally got Mail Washer, but it's a pain to have to run it and then
download the mail. But better than 300 phoney virus laden messages a day.
