Not from my mail box
Spybot - Search & Destroy by PepiMK Software: "New email password stealing viruslink 09/19/2003Today I started to receive dozens of emails containing a new virus/trojan that is not known to my antivirus programs yet.
It appears in emails coming from advisor.microsoft.com, and contains a HTML page that appears to look like a very basic Microsoft homepage.
Microsoft never sends out any updates or other files by email, so you can be sure this is either a virus, a trojan, or spam.
In this specific case, the email is 156 KB in size and contains attachments with different names. If you would install it (which you should not), it would at a later point display a fake error message asking you to re-enter all your email account details, otherwise your Outlook or Outlook Express would be rendered non-functional (which is not true, as this is no real MAPI error and has nothing to do with Outlook or Outlook Express). It also seems to have the capability to disable the Outpost firewall, to be able to sent out your email account data secretly."
