Hi,

Newly connected to ADSL/broadband. For the 1st time I'm receiving messages
on my desktop screen. Some are obviously fake, but this one below makes me
nervous.......

So, my security query is, is this kosher?

On the desk top screen I'm receiving messages on a panel headed Messenger
Service.

Reads:
 " Message from Microsoft Networks to Windows users.
Microsoft Security bulletin MS03-043.
Buffer overun in Messenger Service. Could allow Code Execution (828035)
Affected Software: Win NT, 2000, XP.....etc

Your system is affected - download patch from address below. Type address
below in browser .....www.windows-patch.info "

many thanks MikeS
