| Please be advised that there is a new worm virus that is being spread via email. The worm virus is sent with "support@microsoft.com" as the author and has an attachment in the email called "sslpatch.exe." DO NOT EXECUTE THE ATTACHMENT BUT DELETE THE MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY. The message in the email is as follows: Subject: Invalid SSL certificate Hello, Microsoft Corporation announced that an invalid SSL certificate that web sites use is required to be installed on the user computer to use the https protocol. During the installation, the certificate causes a buffer overrun in Microsoft Internet Explorer and by that allows attackers to get access to your computer. The SSL protocol is used by many companies that require credit card or personal information so, there is a high possibility that you have this certificate installed. To avoid of being attacked by hackers, please download and install the attached patch. It is strongly recommended to install it because almost all users have this certificate installed without their knowledge. Have a nice day, Microsoft Corporation Do not open this email. Especially, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. Delete the email and empty it from your trash. |
