I'll answer my own question
W32.Swen.A@mm
I recieved it just now.
"Microsoft Customer
this is the latest version of security update, the "October 2003, Cumulative Patch" update which fixes all known security vulnerabilities
affecting MS Internet Explorer, MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express. Install now to protect your computer from these vulnerabilities, the most serious
of which could allow an attacker to run code on your system. This update includes the functionality of all previously released patches."
A clue that it is not real is in the way it describes the patch.
MS always refer to their patches in the format of "MS03-039 " or "824146" and never so vague as here, also as a .exe is is classed
by MS as a category 1 risk therefore it is highly unllikely that they would ever mail out an executable in this manner - You will notice that if you
have all the latest outlook patches installed you can no longer access attachments such as .exe
Bored yet - I am - back to work

Funny how I started receiving them very soon after updating my Windows XP, hmmmm
They must be tracking people who are on the update page???
Well that's my theory for now  :thumb
When I got the email I was very sus., and figured that I would go to the Microsoft site itself as I normally do
There are a few dodge MS look alikes around:cussing
MS is dodgy anyway the way they work but these people are scum:cussing:cussing

I'm friggin getting all of these bloody pop-ups and I can't stop them:cussing:cussing:cussing
No more phoney Microsoft but everything else!!
My Ad-Aware program is not cleaning them up:cry
They seem to sneak past these protective programs now
Think they snuck in on the dodgy Microsft email???
Does anyone else have them????
or is it only me:cry
p.s. just got an email from them (well I think it's them) trying to flog an anti pop-up program. The bastards!!!!
I sent a not too nice email back, so if I'm not here tomorow or here after you'll know they got me:jesus
Well I told them they were scum.
OK I shouldn't a replied, I know. They are driving me insane anyway. Getting past all my defence programs
