No user education is required.  Any Windows email reader worth its salt should be automatically deleting all incoming attached files which are executable programs.  Outlook has been doing this since the fall of 2000.  Outlook Express 6 also has this option, but it was off by default until recently. :-(   Richard -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ralf Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 2:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Full-Disclosure] [Fwd: Last Critical Update] FYI, now they deliver viruses/trojans as attachement to a fake "Microsoft security update" email. There was an "update336.exe" attached which I'm not forwarding (please ask offlist if interested). Today's AntiVir detected it as a Worm.Gibe.C.1 Social engineering. One more thing to educate users about :-( R/
