If it says to load this patch immediately it's probably NOT from Microsoft and is in fact a virus itself. Microsoft NEVER sends patches as an attachment. THEY WILL NOT DO THAT. They may tell you there is a suggested patch, but will not attach it. They'll tell you to go to Microsoft.com and find any appropriate patches.

We heard about that one last week and Microsoft had put out a warning about it saying what DM said - That they don't email patches out but tell you where you can find one.

Yep......I got that same email about a month ago.

It looked VERY suspicious.
