Microsoft does not even offer support for Win98 anymore, so this is
bogus. Even if it is legit, it's only for XP and Vista (and maybe
Win2k...... Does MS still support Win2K????? ).

MS also does NOT email out security updates. This has been well
publicised and should bring up an immediate red flag to anyone who
should get one.

Where is the original post, supposedly by Rob Bright? It's not on the
NNTP server I use (AIOE).

Google groups won't even show it.

Is the MS server showing it?

I agree. Perhaps some newsserver deleted the virus if there was one.
Hell, the zip file is only 1 bytes, so that would be a micro-fmicro-micro
virus. :)
 
Re: Check out this security update

Re: Check out this security update

Group,

Excuse the Top Post. This is important to all that get emails with
attachments and/or links to any website. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINKS and do
not open any attachments. If you are prompted to click on the link, do not
do it! Go directly to the to the website yourself using the address bar.
Common sense will tell you to do this!

The email you got is bogus and a way to get information from you or to give
your computer and everyone you email a virus, Trojan or spyware. Wise up!!
