Your e-mail server package correctly identified a mail
with a virus attached and deleted the attachment


This was an attempt to get the user to run
the "Update.exe" attachment which installed the swen virus

You have reported phoney email which contains a virus. It is NOT from
Microsoft Corp. Microsoft does NOT distribute updates and patches via
email. NEVER open attachments to email purporting to come from Microsoft.
If you do, you will MOST ASSUREDLY be infected by a virus.
