[BC] Bad Bad software update purported to come from Microsoft.

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

The executable happens if you click on the link, which gets a "standard-looking" update and, with your permission, installs it! The unwary user thinks an update or fix is installed, while in fact, a virus and bot-net server has been installed.

Cheers,

Since I don't use Outlook or OE...

I'd probably delete it anyway, even if it did get through the filters...

If they were smart, they'd have included an executable somehow...
