Just make sure you mouse-over the link to make sure it actually goes to
microsoft.com and not some bogus URL. I've seen some of those, too!<sigh>

Yeah. I just deleted about 80 of these this morning, and I had already
deleted another 40 or so before I went to bed last night.
You should all be aware that, while MS *will* send out security bulletins,
they will never attach a patch or update to the email. MS will always give a
*link* to where you can go to download the patch/update. So the attachments
are the giveaway on these bogus messages.
They sure do look real, though, don't they? I can see why so many people are
being fooled.

I got it too. It's a virus/worm. Not sent by Microsoft but made to look
like microsoft so more people will open it.
