There's a new one circulating that somebody went to a lot of trouble to
create.
It has three attachments. Two are html docs that open in your email

english. Looks very official. The third attachment is of course the
virus.

Again           MICROSOFT DOES NOT SEND EMAIL PATCHES, SECURITY FIXES ETC,

Be very wary!
