Ever since I installed a new HP Printer in October, 2003,
I have been receiving messages, with a Microsoft logo,
telling me about a "November 2003 Cumulative Patch" and
directing me to open the attachment below to receive it.

When I scan the attachment with my anti-virus software, it
tells me a virus exists. I don't open the attachment.

I get floods of this alleged Microsoft message, sometimes
a dozen or more a day. How can I get them to stop.
