good morning Jayne,
i received this, what do you think about this patch?
and what does the attachment mean. i ran a scan Norton
weekly scan, and it said i have no viruses, then i just
woke up to a box, a red box saying Norton found mydoom
Am, and has deleted it. does it work this way, because i
never had it turned on, after the scan., Luu~ez


If any of you recieve this, just as it is below, delete
it, it's not mirosoft, they don't send things in the
email mail, it almost fooled me, only because i just got
my computer back from Jane for fixing it, from the my
doom virus. I just thought i would inform all of this, as
I found to be of extreme importantice.

Hi - I'm not sure what you're asking - note that MS does not send out
patches via e-mail. Always get updates from
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com - and keep your antivirus software
updated

Hey Peter, I really don't need your shit here, catch my
drift! I was only trying to help someone else out here,
WE ALL make mistakes in our lives, YOU are No Exception,
Excuse yourself for taking up the air i breathe.
Like I said i was only trying to keep someone from
making the mistake i came close to making. Take that for
what it's worth!

These massages - which have been around some time in varying forms - are
NOT from Microsoft. but from someone who is trying to persuade you to
run the attachment and install the trojan it contains. Microsoft
*never* sends out patches by mail. And if you get others purporting to
use a link to a Microsoft site, type the address into your browser for
yourself - clicking the link in the message may go somewhere entirely
different.

The message was made by copying a legitimate notice of a patch from the
MS Web site - and then adjusting it to imply it was in the attachment -
so it reads very plausibly

Hi,
and last, but not least,
the attachment could have been named anything.

When I started visiting newsgroups,
which was right before the swen virus hit the world,
I was unwise enough to use a real email address.
Naturally, I received lots of spam and virus / worms thereafter.

From my experiance, I would expect your friend to receive
MANY such emails. They should learn how to use
messae rules to detect and delete these incoming annoyances
