Anybody else get this? Looks legit, originating address is from msnbc.com. But can't believe even Microsoft would be this stupid after the rash of trojan-attached "patch announcements" lately. Plus all security people have been saying that Microsoft would never email a patch out. Or are they thinking, "Send this out so all the stupid people will click on this before they click on a real trojan?

This is the latest take on the same old trojan that' sbeen circulating for close to two months now. The biggest effect I can see this as having is a conceptual Denial of Service against the public's trust in patching and remote updates.
