I receive periodic emails from MS, such as today's
November 2003 Cumulative Patch. I cannot open the
attachment (the paperclip); is there a setting that I have
not applied?

A related question: Since I could not open the
attachment, I went to the MS Update site. After a review
of my computer, there were no updates recommeded. Not a
surprise as I perform an update approx every 2-4 weeks.
That being the case, why is MS sending an email suggesting
that I apply a Cumulative Patch?
Many thanks. SWA
 
Microsoft isn't sending you a patch. That message isn't from Microsoft, it's
a hoax message and the attachment is a virus. Be glad your mail app blocked
you from launching it. Best to delete those messages entirely - use Windows
Update to get patches, and keep your antivirus software running & regularly
updated.
