New security patch

[Philiprob]

I too get these security patches and have learned that
Microsoft isn't sending them. Sometimes get 10 or more a
day via E-Mail. Slows down things as Norton Virus
Protector has to scan each one, try to repair, then
quarrantine. Anyone tried creating a message rule in
Outlook Express that refuses a message with "security
update" in the subject or body?
