Oh hum,

I've just received my fifth email (today) entitled 'check out this new patch from microsoft' with an exe file attached. This one seems to have harvested this list for victims as all the names on the 'to' field are very familiar names from this list. Our virus scanner picked it up and binned the exe file attached.

Just a warning, but I suspect that no-one on this list would be silly enough to believe that Microsoft sends patches from a Hotmail account - I certainly didn't, but someone out there has done :o(

Cheers,
Norman.
