June 2003, Cumulative Patch

[Maurice]

Is there such a thing as the "June 2003, Cumulative
Patch" & would Microsoft send it by email?

[Roger Abell [MVP]]

MS will never send a patch to you by email
Delete that infectious email you are asking about.

Greetings --

Any and all legitimate patches and updates are readily available
at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/. Any messages that point to
any other source(s) or claim to have the patch attached are bogus.

What you probably received is the output of a computer infected by
one of several relatively new, but wide-spread, mass emailing worms.

Microsoft never has, does not currently, and never will email
unsolicited security patches. At the most, if, and only if, you
subscribe to their security notification newsletter, they will send
you an email informing you that a new patch is available for
downloading.
