Got another mailbomb virus today – W32.Swen.A@mm virus – with an attachment called Q172894.

The Microsoft-Lookalike warning is frigthening… just some text-sample about it here… make sure your virus-definitions are up to date… x-mas is virus time…

Microsoft Customer

this is the latest version of security update, the

"November 2003, Cumulative Patch" update which eliminates

all known security vulnerabilities affecting

MS Internet Explorer, MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express

as well as three newly discovered vulnerabilities.

Install now to protect your computer

from these vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could

allow an attacker to run executable on your system.

This update includes the functionality of all previously released patches.
