Has anyone else received a message from Microsoft that says: "Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now! There are dangerous virus in the Internet now! More than 500.000 already infected!" It has an attachment named patche.exe. I was wondering if it is a spam/virus or if it is legit?? Thanks. Jean Tomorrow is another day.
