Microsoft made several announcements that they *NEVER* and *WILL NEVER* send
out patches via e-mail. Their advice is to visit the Microsoft website and
download whatever patches you need directly from them. It's easy to forge a
return e-mail address and anything sent out via e-mail with a MS e-mail address
is most likely a virus or trojan.
Even when working with Microsoft's Premier Support, they've always directed me
to an FTP site to get a patch/update/workaround. Never have they sent me
anything via e-mail.

Someone knows if this originates realy from Microsoft ?
Or is it just a bad bar of chocolat?
I received this msg on a regular base since early September.
