Subject:Virus as "Microsoft Security Bulletin"
From:Jack
Date:Thu, 18 Sep 2003 12:39:09 -0800

This morning I received an attachment from "Microsoft Security Bulletin", an
official looking memo (probably copied from a real memo), with the subject
line, "Latest Network Security Pack".  The gist of course, was for me to run
the file which would install all the latest security patches for my system.
 Whoa!  I don't even use Microsoft browser or email clients

I saved & tested the file & it was indeed a virus.  Name of file is
something like: "Installer359.zl9"

I have yet to hear of this type of virus delivery and wonder how many people
might actually believe it's from Microsoft & run it.

Sorry to take the BW here but my address may have been harvested from the
this list.

Anyone else?
