Default [IBC] Swen Worm

I was away for three days and I had dozens of these messages. Microsoft do
not send out this type of message so delete them do not open them,

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.

Security Awareness Notes:

** 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

CIAC's Bulletin N-153 New Worms and Helpful Computer Users for more
information.
