Windows XP security update
Christy,
I got the same message and I just get the feeling this is not legitimate with the title as listed it is not in the recommended list of updates at the microsoft updates page and the fact that it said at the bottom "please do not respond to this message it was sent from and unmonitored e-mail address and we are unable to respond to any replies". So anyway i don't recommend it because I feel very uncomfortable with it's implications. Just my thought on this one. Kathy -----Original Message----- 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? . |

Windows XP security update
Kathy,
You used good sense. There are many of these bogus emails going around=20 attempting to penetrate/infect machines. Only get patches for XP directly from MS at their=20 website or via Windows Update. A patch for XP=20 from any other source is bogus. --=20 Roger Abell MS MVP (Security, Windows), MCDBA, MCSE both Associate Expert - Windows XP ExpertZone http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone "Kathy" wrote in message = ...
