I have received several emails a day since Friday which
look like they are from Microsoft Corportation telling me
to download the latest patch. The sender does not always
say Microsoft, but a lot of the emails have had the home
page of Microsoft.com. I have been told this is a virus,
and I do not know how to get rid of it. If anyone can
please help me resolve this, please send the answer to my
email account. Thank You.
