I just recieved an email from Microsoft security. They
said they were sending me a cummulative patch for explorer.
What they sent was an attachment that included this worm.
My Norton caught it. I have spent 40 minutes trying to
find someone I could mail about it. There is no way of
contacting these people.

I just got the same thing. I couldn't find anyone to tell
either. Guess they musty be really paranoid about getting
feedback from customers huh?

I received that same email, plus 4 additional ones. None
of these really came from Microsoft. MS doesn't mail
patches out this way ever. You get them through Windows
Updates.

As for contacting MS, I spent just as much time as you but
for a different reason I will post here in a moment. Yes
you CAN contact them but for between $99 and $245...

I'm glad you all want to help by contacting Microsoft.

However, there's no need.

They are already well aware of this issue, hence the following bulletin:
