Virus Pranks Starting Again -Be Aware

[Rick Webb]

Hi, I got sucked into the last Virus prank , but not this time. The last one
was the Swen Virus. It was a send via a Microsoft Patch (or what I thought
was one).
Anyways, be aware of something that says this.
From: MS Corporation Public Assistance
Subject: Virus Detruit-Destroyed- New Internet Critical Pack.
They came disguised as Microsoft on the first Virus as well !!

First rule on subject is Microsoft NEVER sends patches unsolicited.
If Microsoft does send a patch to you, you will know exactly who at
Microsoft sent, exactly what it is and when to expect its arrival
before the patch is sent.
Otherwise it is bogus.
