Fake e-mail from "Microsoft Security Center"

[WinXP Blues]

Hi Al,

I too, noticed that I have received two e-mail notes within
a few days of me posting my e-mail address on this
newsgroup containing viruses. It's a good thing that I am
cautious with strange e-mail coming from strange addresses.
I post material here only to help other and also get help
for myself in areas that I don't have knowledge of. I
will continue to do. I won't let a couple of individuals
with bad intentions spoil my time on this newsgroup. I hope
this serve as a warning to the rest of the newsgroup to
make sure you scan any attachments in unsolicited e-mail
with strange e-mail addresses. Thanks all and have a
wonderful weekend.

If you munge your Email address, you will drastically cut down on this
happening.
