I've been a registered Microsoft user for years and years, and they've never, never, EVER sent me ANYthing via email, under any circumstances. They issue their warnings via their website, provide links to download patches, etc. It would be amazingly inefficient for Microsoft to try to send out literally tens of millions of patches to every Windows user. Yes, it's a trojan. It's one that's designed to prey on the uninformed, the easily misled, those who don't speak English well, and those who think Microsoft actually cares about them enough to be bothered finding their email address and sending them a patch. ;-) bonni
