I'm gonna type this just one more time..... This is the latest issue of the email containing the w32.swen@mm virus. It hit our servers Thursday a week ago. It's very well done and you will get hundreds of copies of it. Looks *really* official in HTML. Tell your 97% solution using friends that MICROSOFT NEVER SENDS PRODUCT UPDATES BY E-MAIL. NEVER EVER. If they "install" this "update", unless they're real comfortable in regedit, they'll need to take it to a shop to be straightened out. Figure probably a fifty dollar bill.... Details are available at Symantec's site. In case you didn't understand the first time through.... MICROSOFT NEVER SENDS PRODUCT UPDATES BY E-MAIL. NEVER EVER.
