Sure is a virus. I first got it a couple months ago, was
suspicious and contacted Microsoft. It is a virus,
delete. THey won't send updates by mail, but speaking of
updates, the virus was undetected by Norton when I first
got it, but it does detect loud and clear now. Have you
updated your anti-virus lately?
