Default E-mail from Microsoft

i have been hit by about 40 of this type in the last week. my antivirus has
flagged everyone of them as containing a virus.

I received an e-mail today from Microsoft. The subject is "Newest Internet
Security Upgrade" It has an attachment that Outlook Express removed as it
was/is an executable called "installation 232.exe" The e-mail certainly
looks authentic, so I checked The Microsoft site and lo and behold there

is
a section on how to tell if an e-mail is legitimate. There is an actual
example of a hoax and shocking enough it looks just like the email I
received....

So beware there seems to be something new out there...
