LATEST NEWS FROM MSNBS

Antivirus firms have issued warnings about a tricky new malicious program
which arrives as an e-mail that claims recipients' e-mail accounts "will be
expiring." That menacing message has apparently duped many Internet users
into opening the attached file, Message.zip. Just hours after its discovery,
most antivirus firms rated the worm a medium risk. The virus appears to be
an attempt to harvest e-mail addresses, and may have been initially
distributed as a spam mail, experts say.

Er, excuse me for being so blunt, but you misspoke here. It's not Internet
"users"; it's Internet "idiots".

Do not, not, not, not, not, not open any email attachments unless you know
exactly when and from whom they are coming. It's that simple.

All else is futile. :)
