I've received two of these emails from "Microsoft Security" containing a .exe attachment that purports itself to be a security patch. It's obvious enough to me that it's a trojan, but how many people do you think might be fooled? Whoever made this did a pretty good job.

I have received about 10 of these since y'day and all of them to a/cs which are used only for mailling lists.. seems like its also harvesting addresses from mailing list archieves. I do agree, the mail looks pretty much like microsoft site with all links pointing to microsoft:)
