Horrible spamming !

I just was back from vacation and then I downloaded my e-mails. I had 50% of junk e-mails...this is a terrific phenomenon.

Some of these e-mails are signed by Microsoft and contains an attachement (security patch). Not convinced at all, I checked to the Microsoft web site and got the following link http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/news/patch_hoax.asp. So, be care on opening anykind of email....

Another reason is...has Microsoft ever sent you security patches as an attachment into your inbox before? Should be a good indication right off the bat! ;)
