Virus Alert!

Post by Everett Cox »

I've been getting hit with infected emails the last 2 days.

Claims to be a 'cumulative security update' from Microsoft. Has attached file q216309.exe containing the virus. DO NOT OPEN OR RUN THAT FILE.

The message looks fairly legit and references some stuff on the MS web site. A lot of people could be fooled. Microsoft NEVER sends software through email for this very reason. --everett
