And in case anyone doesn't know, the above is a virus going around.

Microsoft *never, ever* send out updates via attachments. Any e-mail 
claming to be an update from Microsoft is probably malicious. 

So if you get one of these e-mails, delete it. All the HPfGU boards 
are set as 'no-attachments', btw, so virii cannot be spread from 
messages on here.

In the meantime you should probably update your virus protection ;-)
