[mso] Mystery email things (Outlook Express)

I keep getting messages such as this:
"This e-mail in its original form contained one or more attached files that 
were infected with a virus or worm, or contained another type of security 
threat. 

The following attachments were infected and have been repaired:"

The "attachment" that is included is the Microsoft Home Page.  I get one or two 
a day. The messages are essentially the same, and are (allegedly)From Customer 
Support or Symantic Virus Reporting or something. The Subject line is usually 
"Critical Update Patch" or "Security Alert". 

I confess that I looked at the first one I got, but I did not open any 
attachment. Now I just keep deleting these messages, but I am puzzled as to why 
I am receiving them in the first place. Is it just run of the mill Spam? 

Regards and thanks,

Carolyn Phillips
