I have received quite a few Microsoft Update e-mails
lately, and when I opened the most recent attachment, the
Norton virus indicator came on. Has anyone else had this
problem? I am assuming that either someone is forwarding
the virus through the Microsoft Updates or there is
somthing in the Update that triggers the virus message.
