When you see a newsgroup article which states to install a patch do not do
it. Instead, visit the website windowsupdate but download the updates ONLY
FROM THAT WEBSITE.

Why ? It's told on that website, there are no suitable patches on USENET.
Usenet is a massive net of discussion forums.

If you detect such a message on the Usenet, notify your admin immediately to
*:-=>REMOVE<=-:* that message. The most common virus on the internet
usenetgroups is "SWEN" . The removal tool for this virus can be downloaded
from website only.

I trust that any links that you have just posted, should also be treated
with caution?

Add the file extension ATT to the extension list in your virus
scanner. That is the extension of the Swen Worm file - NOT .exe as the
false message says.
