>I have just received an email which has a subject
of: "Newest Security Update" and from "Microsoft
Corporation Security Support" The contents of the email
looks very legitimate however, the address that the email
is from is lkzfptukibcqlvm@bulletin.com. Obviously fake.
It also has an .exe attachment that looks like a IE
update, i.e. q235453
>Has anyone received this email as well? What virus is
attached to the email? I could not find any information
at Symantec and McAfee's sites.

I doubt that you could not find any information at
Symantec and McAfee's sites.
Tell me, what dimension or planet are you from? Take a
look at the other posts to this NG. I know that you will
find many posts on this subject. Unless of course your
dimension or planet has never heard of the "Swen, Dumaru,
or Gibe" viruses.

At least you didn't open the attachment.
