Norton's just caught FOUR in a row, that were from someone saying they are Microsoft, with a page that looked very real. But each one had an executable file, and they are all the same virus, W32.swen. The e-mail all claimed to be updates to the patches we downloaded some time I've gotten these viruses in another email acct I have and they are very dangerous. Microsoft will NEVER send you a file for an update!! I surely wish they would catch the low life that had nothing better to do but make a stupid virus. It should be a major crime, since they're destroying the property of many people. Getting off my soap box now! DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW THE PERSON, AND THEN ASK THEM FIRST IF THEY SENT YOU A FILE., SINCE SOME VIRUSES USE PEOPLE'S ADDRESS BOOKS.
