As you can see this looks like
something from Microsoft with an attached file. It has all the right links
yet it was suspicious so I saved the attached file and my Norton antivirus
picked it up as a virus.
Nasty way to catch people when it
looks like the real thing. Update your antivirus program and check your
hard-drives because I got this from one of you receiving this.
