CAUTION - virus with good cover -- MICROSOFT Warnings!!!!

[superba]

Hi All,

I'm a subscriber to Microsoft Technet and a Systems Engineer;  I get ON
PURPOSE many emails from Microsoft each week.  I just went back and looked
in my email folders and Microsoft has never sent me a warning with an
attachment.  The warnings refer to online URLs where you can download
bulletins and updates.

Kneale's advice is good.  Keep your virus software updated and if you don't
KNOW that your system is free of viruses, update your virus software and run
a complete scan, NOW.

My .02 worth.

Cheers!

Jim Jordan
