Viruses/worms

[Hy]

I got the same problem too.

But I set my e-mail account that all e-mail from
@microsoft.com will deliver to my Inbox.
Which they did.
So it must came from Microsoft
There was an attachment too about 155KB.
Like I got tons of it every hours range from 144KB to
160KB.

Hy,
Outgoing mail addresses are easy to spoof.
The POP/SMTP system was developed at a time when security was not really an
issue.
Your mail *appears* to come from MS, but really, it doesn't.
The thing is to delete it. It's a trick,a scam, a con, a phoney etc.
On the other hand it's worrying how many people will trust what appears to
be genuine, because they do not know enough to realise it can't possibly be.
Unless....ya don't think Bill has finally had enough griping and complaining
about his fine software do you?
Nah, not possible.
P.S. For the truly paranoid, the last two lines are 'irony'. Look it up if
you have to.
All the best,
Chek

The sender address appears to be Microsoft, but the real sender's IP address
can be seen with "File>Properties>Details". If you "whois" the address in
the "Received" header showing your ISP receiving the message, you will see
that it is not in Microsoft's network.
