Right you are.  This is a pretty standard virus vector, really.  ALWAYS
check unsolicited attached files, no matter who they come from or purport
to come from.  No, MS doesn't send files.  Most of their programs (like my
new Windows 2000) have patches or plug-ins or whatever which will
automatically go out and check for the latest patches and download and
install them for you.  Like the other night, I was up all night updating my
IE and putting Service Pack 3 on my Win 2000.  Argh.

Veloci--that was a long night--raptor
