Hi Everyone,

I just received one, actually four different ones, of the new generation of 
here is the latest patch for Windows messages and it looks pretty 
convincing.  It came from an msdn address and is formatted similarly to 
Microsoft's web pages.  Attached was a virus/trojan.

Microsoft has made a statement that they do not distribute patches via 
e-mail, so be careful and you may wish to warn/remind your clients.

Have a good weekend,
Jon
