I received an e-mail from Microsoft saying that i should run a patch that is attached to the mail called:

norton antivirus deleted1.txt

the mail says this:

Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now!
There are dangerous virus in the Internet now!
More than 500.000 already infected!


Sounds a bit dodgy to me, anyone else had this?

Microsoft never send out files. This'll be a virus.

If it was from Microsoft it'd tell u to download it from the official site.
