We have received more than 20 emails in the past two
days, stating that they came from MicroSoft and
containing attachments. I did not open them. My
question: Would you want me to forward two or three of
them to Microsoft so that you can see where they come
from and then take suiteable action?
 
NONE of them have come from Microsoft. Check the properties of the
email.... nearly all of mine (and I had over 750+ overnight) have come from
the Netherlands and Italy.

Microsoft never sends unsolicited files by email.
DO NOT open the file--it is NOT from MS.
REPEAT:Microsoft NEVER sends unsolicited files by email.

It is a virus masquerading as MS security.
The most recent is W32/Swen@MM which can be removed with Stinger

The others circulating are dumaru.b
