In Outlook Express, I routinely get an e-mail saying it
is from MicroSoft saying I need to install a patch
immediately to protect my computer. The sender's address
is (e-mail address removed). Is this a hoax, possibly a
virus or is it actually from MicroSoft. I have been
deleting these e-mails when I receive them.
 
Yes it's a hoax that's been doing the rounds and driving people mad since
August I think.
 
Bern:
Microsoft does not send security updates, patches, fixes, etc. via email.
The attachments are viruses. There are several of these phony MS emails
making the rounds. Delete them.

Actually, it's been going on since at least April, when Microsoft
first posted warnings about such emails on their security sites.
