Microsoft sends viruses?

[kurttrail]

Because the From address has been spoofed. So, it thinks it's from
MS, when it's not.

It's that easy to a virus thru Hotmail? Just spoofing an E-mail address?
MS ownes Hotmail, and collects fees for it's service, yet it has nothing in
place to veryify it's own messages?

If this is all true, MS has some real explaining to do!

Yes, Hollywood already bought it (or close enough) - remember "The Net"?

I HAD to comment....Just wanted to tell you how tickled my
funny bone is after reading this string about the amazing
conclusion that Microsoft is dispensing infected e mail!
I think we need to enter into a class action suit against
these virus-infesting behemoths, Microsoft and Hotmail.
It's obviously a diabolical plot: MS sends out e mail
suggestions for updates which carry a virus. We get the
virus and turn to anti-virus companies who profit from our
subscriber fees. Microsoft & Hotmail collude with these
companies and they split the profits. Isn't it _obvious_??
Would even a Hollywood studio buy this?
How about the international Org., "World-wide Corporate
Conspiracies; They're Everywhere."

Hotmail did. If Microsoft has nothing to with it, then

the Hotmail blocking

program failed.
BTW thanks for your advice.

Sir,

You should contact Hotmail support. They should fix their software.

Microsoft does not send patches via e-mail--viruses may pretend they are
Microsoft e-mails. The only valid way to get patches is through
Microsoft Windows XP or 98/ME or the companion website,
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

Miss computing 101 did you?

Excuse me? MS scans all Hotmail message that are received for viruses,
but all that the virus scumbags need to do is spoof a MS email address
to get a virus thru to hotmail.

Who is the one that missed computing 101? Me or MS?
