I would like to know if this warning is actually from
Microsoft. I would also like to know how to contact
Mircosoft in the future to find out if such information
is legitimate.
I received a dialog box with this in the tital bar:
"Warning: Important Message!!! Microsoft Internet
Explorer
The message read:
Warning. Important Message!!!
