So have I. My Norton anti-virus software intercepts the attachment and says
that the virus called

Worm.Autonet.AHB

is present. I've set the AV email checker to delete any attachment that appears
to have a virus. I've also alerted Microsoft about this (as have several million
others, I suppose).

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.
