I thought this was pretty damn funny. A "Microsoft" e-mail with an .exe attachment under the guise of being a patch. Is this some kind of new virus?

...well if it is, then people who click that link have it now...

 

[Solid_Raiden]

It might be. Contact the anti-virus guys immediatly!

lol... You have to be dumb or be a non techie newbie to fall for that!!!

strange how it got sent from a "Technology Know-How" website, must of been hacked or infected.

And the funniest thing would have been if you where running Linux

Its pretty neatly done though. Except that its very very very unlikely win 95/98 would be included in requirements.

I should have tried those links inside the message (All Products...Support...etc). I didn't think to do that, I just captured a screenie and then deleted it.

Yes i've been getting them for months from differnet addresses, But my firewalls and Virus Checkers always picks it up as a virus and deletes it

(Yay for PC-cillin 2002, Norton Network Edition and a hub [yay])

anywho, don't open it.....

 

[Bad^Hat]

Nope, any and all critical updates like that would be available through windows update. Besides I doubt Microsoft would be E-mailing anyone this garbage. Sad tho how many ppl are gonna fall for that, looks pretty legit...

Microsoft never sends out e-mail like this. You've been had:|

Hmm, I got another one just like the original about an hour ago. Only difference was none of the images showed up, and the colors weren't working. It included a different .exe attachment (I forget the damn name now), and it was sent from a different mailing address.

I hate junk mail...
