WARNING: 'MICROSOFT' EMAIL .....
Hi folks !
Sorry if you've already received this message, but I am putting it on all the bowls discussion boards.
Someone is mass mailing an email, purporting to be from the Microsoft Corporation Security Centre, and telling you to install an attached security update q216309.exe
IT IS A VIRUS !
A search on the Microsoft site on 'q216309.exe' returns the follwing result:
Search results:
Virus Alert About the W32.Gibe@mm Worm Virus (Q319652)
The W32.Gibe@mm virus is a mass-mailing e-mail worm program that uses Microsoft Outlook as well as a built-in Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) engine to spread.
Do not open or install it!
I have spoken to Microsoft who say they NEVER email security updates !
Regards
Lesley
