RE: New virus disguised as Microsoft patch?

["Larry Seltzer" <larry () larryseltzer com>]

Once you bear in mind that Microsoft never sends out executable attachments (and that
the message was not digitally signed) that fact that it's fake is obvious. If you pass
the word about this worm at all, please tell everyone that patches like this are never
sent out through the e-mail and that they should never run an executable that comes in
the mail, even from a trusted from: address, unless they know that it's coming and what
it is.
