Beware.....virus Message

Post by Gene Jones »

I just received this message, supposedly from Microsoft...My Norton
intercepted it as a virus and it was successfully deleted.....if you receive one of these, delete it immediately!


.....<B>"Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now!
There are dangerous virus in the Internet now!
More than 500.000 already infected!"</B>.....

I received the message today for the first time, and remembered your posting. Otherwise, I may have fallen for it since it said Microsoft.

thanks, Gene!

I don't run anything that I get in email. The worst is the PayPal imitator that trys to get you to enter your PayPal password. Looks just like a PayPal page!
