Haven't yet had chance to catch up with all the posts on this but I have
been disturbed this morning to receive - not for the first time - an
email headed up from Microsoft but in fact showing Microsoft HYPERLINK
"mailto:ittobbzgixpuq-ljpos@xxxxxxxxxxxx"ittobbzgixpuq-ljpos@xxxxxxxxxxx
t in the send properties.

This was picked up by AVG as follows:
The attached file Update7967.exe is infected by I-Worm/Swen.A
It happened to me on previous occasions with other apparently MS sourced
emails - am I right to be concerned that either somebody is
spamming/virusing me as if they were Microsoft or is the organisation
itself sending wormladen emails to its subscribers? I am VERY confused
and not a little alarmed!
