Yeah, it came through intact to me, too. I just axed it with shift+delete, so it's no longer a problem.

Be careful, everyone!

I just got an email from what, at first glance, looks to be from the Microsoft Internet Security Section. It has an attachment they are urging me to install as a cumulative patch for the month of April.

Looking at the header, this is from Rugosa -at- pandora -dot- be, which would NOT be from Microsoft at all. Obviously, this is a virus of some sort. And, the fact that I know that Microsoft does not send these things out this way is also a clue.

The scary thing is the attachment got thru intact. The latest updates in my Norton did not strip this out. And I am updated with the latest virus definitions. I have seen previous ones get cleaned out but not this one. Scary.

An FYI to all.
