New trojan

Xombe Trojan Disguised as Security Update from Microsoft

There is a new Trojan program making the rounds, which is sent via e-mail
with the spoofed (phony) e-mail address (e-mail address removed), but
really contains a program that downloads another program designed to connect
to a Russian Web site.

Don't be fooled by this hoax. Microsoft does not send updates via e-mail.
For more info about this new threat, see:

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may
be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our
happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our
circumstances.
Martha Washington (1732 - 1802)
