I have had my isp screener pick up with a virus warning
the following message:
"Date:
From: "Microsoft" <security@microsoft.com>
To: <cinglegap@wilkes.net>
Subject: Use this patch immediately !
Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now!
There are dangerous virus in the Internet now!
More than 500.000 already infected!"
Can anyone tell me if this message and the attached
download is the real thing? Or, am I being taken for a
ride?
