If i'm not mistaken, Microsoft doesn't send patches via
email attachments.

Have you read about the new virus that hit beginning last
Thursday, w32/swen@mm

Some people were getting a reported 20 per second, most only
50 to 299 a day. Mail boxes full, Internet slow, servers
crashed. You missed that??

A look at www.mcafee.com for virus information on new
threats is a useful DAILY chore.
