Boy, talk about guts!
After posting a question on the Newsgroup for PowerPoint
on Monday and posting my email address to boot, I was
bombarded with four Emails (and maybe even seven) that all
had the "LOOK" of an official Microsoft Email / Website.
They all told me that the attachment in the Email was the
latest patch / update / fix to whatever (Outlook,
Explorer, Windows, etc.).
Fortunately, my ISP's virus software caught the
W32.Swen.A@mm worm in each attachment sent, before my
virus software even had a chance to get it.
So, look out everyone - tis the season to wreak havoc
among us all. And they are checking the newsgroup
postings to find their victims.
