Windows XP security update

[Christy]

I'm not sure if anyone can help. I was sent a message by
Microsoft about updating my security for Windows XP to
the April 2003 Cumulative Patch. It said to install the
update all I had to do was click on the attachment with
the email. The problem is it didn't seem to have an
attachment but I did get a message saying Norton
Antivirus had quarantined an attachment that I had
received. Does anyone know how I can get the attachment
back or how to get another security update sent to me?

Just delete the e-mail and empty the quarantine. Microsoft never sends the
patch as an attachment to an e-mail, all MS patches are distributed through
TechNet or Windows Update.

Christy;
Delete the attachment and the message immediately.
Microsoft NEVER sends patches that way.
Lately someone has been sending a virus with a letter that looks like
it is from Microsoft.
