Microsoft Patch
Anybody else get this? Looks legit, originating
address is from msnbc.com. But can't believe even Microsoft would
be this stupid after the rash of trojan-attached "patch announcements"
lately. Plus all security people have been saying that Microsoft would
never email a patch out. Or are they thinking, "Send this out so all the
stupid people will click on this before they click on a real
trojan?
