Very strange thing. I just received 2 email messages purportedly from Microsoft.
The first is from "Microsoft Internet Delivery System" <mailerengine at netmail.com> with the subject line "Bug Notice". It contains no text except an attachment, "hpqz.scr (104 KB)". The second is from "Microsoft Technical Assistance" with no email address, to "Consumer" <consumer.kiezoane at updates.msn.com>, subject line "Patch", with 3 attachments. It looks very official with Microsoft logos all over it and links that look like they should take you to the MS website. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything stupid like click anywhere on either message. I do not use ANY Microsoft products, and Microsoft would have no reason to have my email address. I'm pretty convinced these are the worst kind of spam, with viruses or Trojan horses or worms or some other malevolent ware lurking under the surface. It is puzzling, though, that both AppleMail and Earthlink let these slip through the spam filters. Or am I a jaded, over-spammed, suspicious cynic?
