    Just received this from Microsoft Network Support, on closer inspection, it comes from sindphts-538971@WxmFLVs.net and comes with a 'supposed' patch in the form of an executable


    Do they really think we are THAT stupid ? :grr:

    The instant I saw it I was suspicious. That kind of text only appears on the Windows Update page and the Windows Update downloader thing. It's no problem for me to figure out it's a virus - what get's me is how many other people will fall for it :(

    well it is pretty obvious when a total stranger sends you a screen saver not to open it ;)
