Be careful of your email folks! I got an email tonight, supposedly from Microsoft, but in reality, it came from "admin@duma.gov.ru". The message reads:

Quote:
Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now!
There are dangerous virus in the Internet now!
More than 500.000 already infected!


Rule #1, Microsoft, no matter how bad they may be, would never send such an email.

Rule #2, Microsoft would never email you a security patch.

Rule #3, the folks at Microsoft have better grammer.

Rule #4, keep your virus definitions updated. Mine were updated, my antivirus software caught this one, a cute little thing called "W32.Dumaru@mm".

See this page for more info:

I don't need no stinkin' Mac, either, Stan!!
