Mr. Stewart
This is the second time that I've received an email that
says I should download and install a patch to protect my
computer. I'm no genius, but this is very odd. First of
all its the same message with a different sender name. I
can't remember the last name, but now it says Microsoft
and the file name is "patch.exe". Even the name of the
file seems odd given that it doesn't have a patch number
associated with it. Also, this is what the message says.
"Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now!
There are dangerous virus in the Internet now!
More than 500.000 already infected!"
Right now I'm 100% against downloading this file. Not only
that, but if I download a patch its usually done with
windows update manager and I download the files directly
from the Microsoft website. I would like to know if this
is some kind of virus that someone is trying to send
around.
