Hi All,

Rootsweb lists are not supposed to be used for virus warnings, but I am
making an exception for this one.

There is a very new virus masquerading as a Microsoft security update. It
appears to come from Microsoft, and at first glance appears genuine. It
even refers you to the correct part of the Microsoft web site to check its
provenance (although it's not actually mentioned there, of course.)

For Macafee users, it is describe at

I don't think it's especially nasty, but it could be easily believed.

Cheers,

Malcolm
