Why is Microsoft e-mailing me viruses

T

Tim Bromund

Ever since I put a real e-mail address in the message I
posted below the other day, I have been receiveing e-mail
messages that are apparently from microsoft that Norton
Anti Virus keeps flagging as having virus's attached. I
received 9 e-mails from microsift yesterday, all with
what NAV identified as virus's attached.

What's the deal? Is NAV losing it's mind or is some
virus spreading spammer grabbing e-mail addys off these
newsgroups and sending out garbage (probably an Apple
person :^) )

Microsoft isn't e-mailing you anything, as Microsoft *Never* e-mails
updates. ( or viruses )
It is spammers, and people who have computers infected with viruses.

That's what I figured, guess I should have let the e-mail
as anonymous. Thanks. Thank god for NAV.

You must get mail infected by Swen worm. it copies itself
and you could receive hundreds of them.
Get a filter like MM3(Free download)
