I've received several copies of this type of bogus emails from

sans the attachments, of course !


I get at least 10 of them a day. Unfortunately, whatever virus it is that
sends these out does not want to stick with a consistent subject line. I
get "Network Security Update", "Microsoft Update", "Microsoft Security
Patch", and also weird things like "watch the patch from Microsoft".

email is not dangerous on my computer, maybe you should get a different
computer.


What difference does it make what kind of computer I have? They're
annoying like spam, whether or not they're dangerous.

feed the trolls.
