sure sounds like a scan - maybe spyware on your computer
sending that message. Did you search microsoft's data base
for information on it?

I went out leaving my machine switched on and on line.  On
return I have
an alert telling me I have a problem.  There was something
about 'buffer
over-run' and that all recent Windows except Me and XPPro
were
affected,  To download the 'fix' a URL was indicated. I went
to the URL,
which was <www.windowspatch.net>  There the problem was
repeated, and
the download would cost $US19.95.

This does not sound like Microsoft to me, and I took it no
further.

Anyone else so affected?  Is it a con?  It seems like it to
me.
Cheers
Rick
