Hello Cary,
I had the exact same experience.
did you receive an answer from Vircom as to why it got through your filters (and ours), but not Vircom's own?
Thanks, Lapo

I "sent as an attachment" an email I received, to Spamtrap3, which I knew was a fake "Security Center Announcement", puportably from Microsoft.� It had some active-x content, which my browser blocks, and my browser said "it might not display properly because I was blocking active-x".

(with the same message)?

The original mail is a "Microsoft" looking message purporting to warn
