I've been getting a lot of spam from Microsoft today. This raised my suspicions and
I checked at http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/ and found the following warning. I haven't
sent this type of warning before, but I hope some of you will not fall victim to
this latest worm, since it looks quasi-official by posing as being from Microsoft.

** Swen Worm (aka: Gibe) ** Beware of the latest Internet worm masquerading as
a security patch sent by Microsoft which is spreading fast around the world. Visit

Alan:
I've been getting the same thing. I called my ISP to see what they could do about it.
They said it is NOT from Microstoft. They told me not to open any of the attachments
(which I haven't) because they could contain a virus.

I've been getting these at the rate of 8-10 per hour. Sounds like I'm not the only one.
