I'm gonna type this just one more time.....

This is the latest issue of the email containing the w32.swen@mm virus.
It hit our servers Thursday a week ago.  It's very well done and you
will get hundreds of copies of it.  Looks *really* official in HTML.
Tell your 97% solution using friends that MICROSOFT NEVER SENDS PRODUCT
UPDATES BY E-MAIL. NEVER EVER. If they "install" this "update", unless
they're real comfortable in regedit, they'll need to take it to a shop
to be straightened out.  Figure probably a fifty dollar bill....

Details are available at Symantec's site.

In case you didn't understand the first time through....

MICROSOFT NEVER SENDS PRODUCT UPDATES BY E-MAIL. NEVER EVER.
