Thank you!
Phew. What would we do if Microsoft didn’t email everyone on the planet telling them about these bugs? You’d think they’d have some sort of Auto Update system in place instead of the fuddy duddy old email system. I’d be up the creek without a paddle if that email had been stopped by Spamassassin. It doesn’t bear thinking about what might have happened if I had missed this warning. Thanks guys!
You might want to scramble up that file address. These kinda emails wouldn’t be sent out unless people had actually fallen for them before!
Auto-update sounds pretty nifty though 🙂
You’d think that Microsoft can afford to spell check their messages before sending out the emails. What a hoax.
Wow — I was really just looking for some WP tips, but if I hadn’t found this alert the Sun probably wouldn’t have risen today, the birds would stop chirping and the sky would open up and devour my children. Thanks. Whew!
Thank you for letting me know to expect an email from M$. I just received and the subject was “Read Me!! Quickly!!” It is fantastic that Microsoft’s partners “to protect your sistem!” are also jmaustin.com and v31827.1blu.de .
I think they gave it away when they said hackers had found new bugs in XP. I mean, who’s going to believe that?
