Hi is it normal to get an email (to my bulk mail folder)
from Microsoft netwrk security telling me to download an
attachment which contains said critical update>?
I thought you either set windows to look or search
manually?
Is this a scam or is it genuine...who can I forward the
email to to verify?
Any help appreciated

same thing happened to me and it is because i used this
newsgroup and being silly enough to think that because
its a microsoft newsgroup i could safely include my
genuine email address. how wrong i was i now get close to
30 emails a day all saying from microsoft all contain
viruses. they are not from microsoft and if u open the
attachment ur pc will be infected.

as u will see i never use my real email address anymore
and would advise all who read this to follow suit as the
people who are sending these emails regularly scan
through these groups and add new victims

hope u have more secure emailing with a new email address
as this is the only way to stop it

gavin
