Uninstalled Symantec and installed McAfee. Still getting
auto-updates for 811493. Does Microsoft monitor this board?
They must also be aware that someone is lifting email
addresses from this board and sending this bogus/malicious
q524566.exe update email, supposedly from technet.msdn.com.
No coincidence, I left my email address here yesterday, got
the bogus email today (like many others on this board
wondering what it is). Again, does Microsoft monitor this
board?
Maybe they should shut it down because it's doing more harm
than good?
