This should be a dead give away that the email is total B.S. and internet users should not fall for this kind of social engineering attack The dead giveaway is that Microsoft has been warning people for how many years now that they do NOT send updates as email attachments! mady It seems that Microsoft warnings are going unnoticed because you would have to "assume" that internet users would have to visit their security site and or receive their security newsletters by email. Many People who are online are not taking internet security seriously enough or just don't care. I see many people on a daily basis who know nothing about Microsoft updates or what they do to protect Windows. These naive internet users are part of the problem, not part of the solution and this is why they fall for these emails. -- Specializing in "takes downs" of phishing and advance fee scams Send your Phishing/Advance fee scams to: phish@antihotmail.com »www.phishtank.com »www.fraudwatchers.org »mozilla.com

Win98 no more security updates - you're correct Also Outlook Express is not a part of Vista OS either. In my humble opinion , people need to get training in internet security before they even touch a computer. At the end of the training, they would get a license that says they know how to protect their computer property from outside threats. If their computer gets infected and becomes a zombie machine, they would lose their license/ computer privileges and have to go back to internet training so they can get their act together.

I havent seen the computer to know what the real problem is The person you are referring to that has the computer problem needs to switch to Thunderbird email client because Outlook Express is so tied into the Windows Operating System due to the Microsoft update/service pack process. The big problem is that so many internet users are so gullible to social engineering bias they fall victim to it just by not doing the proper updating of software, be it Windows or their Anti virus software. The above scam, plays on this gullibility. -- Specializing in "takes downs" of phishing and advance fee scams Send your Phishing/Advance fee scams to: phish@antihotmail.com »www.phishtank.com »www.fraudwatchers.org
