umm. no. not an option. because this will prompt 50 calls daily on how to do everything. i get enough stupid calls from him as it is.

i'd rather just find a write-up on it to fix the problem.
.........and continue to fix problems caused by the highly vulnerable Microsoft Product (IE 7 &8) verses using FireFox 3.5 and Thunderbird.

A person who has proper internet security knowledge, should know that Microsoft doesn't support a platform that's over ten years old. 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!

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.

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.

People can talk about the problem of phishing scams in this forum, month after month but if you don't take a proactive approach by terminating sites, internet users will continue to be taken by social engineering

I'm going to try to terminate the phishing site at the name server level due to it being fast-flux... wish me luck :D

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.
