I tried to download and install a MS security patch I
received via E-Mail. My ZoneAlarm said don't do it but I
did it anyway. It completly messed up my PC, it sent a
bunch of e-mails to people and places I never heard of
all of them returned "undeliverable". I had to restore
my PC back to yesterday. Is this some kind of hoax? It
sure looked real.

Thanks,
Bob
