nod32 is only unaffected as long as it is detected BEFORE it gets installed.
otherwise it probably would get shut down.

actually I just got this one in my yahoo.

I have gotten that email about 5 times now. I keep blacklisting and bouncing it. Even the first time I got it, I didn't open it. I had a feeling it was bogus from the get go.

This is the same as this thread:
http://www.techimo.com/forum/t81005.html

I just don't know how to embed the image.

BTW, I've been getting this about 20 X per day since Friday. (9/19)

I set my yahoo filter for this:

If...

Body contains "this is the latest version of security update, the "September 2003, Cumulative Patch""

Then...

Move message to Trash folder
