Dear Valued User.
At 0 : 12 Eastern Time on Thursday-January 29, 2004,
Microsoft started investigating reports of a variant of a new virus “Mydoom”, known as Mydoom.A.
This worm reportedly stops access to some websites, including our Microsoft.com websites. The worm is noticed to entice electronic mail recipients into opening a message with a file attached. If the file attached is opened, virus installs malicious code on the computer user’s system and sends itself to any contacts in the user’s address book.
Please download the latest security patch available from Microsoft.com website or download this digitally signed attachment.

(The attachment was the MyDoom.B virus, which had little effect on my Linux system.)
In a related story, I really hate getting email notification reporting a comment to my blog — which turns out to be spam.
