Toxic Microsoft message


Listmembers:

Please be on the lookout for a particularly vicious posting which appears to
be coming from Microsoft.  It speaks of "patches" to improve security in
Windows and related Microsoft applications.  It uses reasonably good English
and appears quitge "official".  It even says that it has been "virus-checked"
and is certifiably virus-free.

Trouble is, it contains the "Gibe" virus, and if you open the attachment, your
computer will become infected.

My Norton 2003 picked up the virus and quarantined it; but unless you are
running Norton or some other such program (and are keeping it updated), you
are in danger.  Please be careful!


Best,

Bob
